What Will I Remember This Holy Week?

With steadfast intention, Jesus rode on an ordinary donkey into Jerusalem as thousands of Jews gathered to celebrate Passover. The crowds welcomed a king they believed would free them from oppression and tyranny. Yet, Jesus’ entrance amidst songs of “Hosanna!” proved a stark contrast to Pontius Pilate and the magnificent Roman army who entered Jerusalem with their earthly power and domination. They feared an uprising and were reminding the Jewish people just who was in charge. Jesus knew what he was doing. His kingdom was not of this world.
