Jesus riding into Jerusalem “triumphantly” on Palm Sunday must have been strange.
Yes, He was entering as King, but He was also entering knowing that before the week’s end, He would be abandoned, denied, suffer ruthlessly, and die horribly.
Of course, He would also share a Last Meal with His disciples, conquer sin, death, and the devil, but the bad coming would still have be endured; and that wasn’t something to look forward to.
Yet He did it.
Willingly. Humbly. Obediently. Lovingly.
His love for us was showing through His obedience to the Father’s will.
That’s just amazing!
“Enter, Lord Jesus, into our hearts and help us love so obediently as You did!”
