It's Palm Sunday.

We're discussing Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. 

You know the story: Jesus is arriving at Jerusalem—where he knows he will die, he tells his disciples to get him an untamed colt, and his followers welcome him as a king by throwing their cloaks on the road and shouting Hosanna. 

Sarah Stenson says this text is often glossed over because, rightfully so, we focus on Jesus' looming crucifixion. She makes the case for why we should preach a strong sermon with this overlooked passage because it's filled with incredible details. 

Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:

• Do you preach this text or the full passion text on Palm Sunday? 
• Why did they throw their cloaks on the road? 
• What's the significance of the colt?
