Knowing that His time on earth was nearing its end, Jesus returns to Jerusalem for the final, and most important, part of His ministry. We celebrate the beginning of Holy Week with Palm Sunday, which commemorates His triumphal entry into the city riding on a donkey and receiving the cheers of the crowd. We know, and I’m sure Jesus knew, that their support for Him was only transitory and that soon enough they would turn against Him and call for His crucifixion, but He still went ahead because of His love for us. I am also sure that even as He rode that donkey into the city His mind occasionally turned to the future, when He will return and ride in as the conquering King of Kings.
