Palm Sunday
This Sunday we celebrate Palm Sunday, a time when Jesus arrives in Jerusalem on a colt, with less than a week to live. It’s Holy Week, a time when Jesus will reveal more about himself as the long-awaited Messiah and the drama reaches full tilt.
A colt is simply a young donkey. Even today, most people don’t yearn to ride on a donkey. We’d much prefer a horse. Donkeys, especially young colts, were used by kings when they desired to enter a city as a sign of peace. A horse or stallion was used by a king when they desired to enter the city as a victorious military conqueror.
500 years earlier, the Prophet Zechariah prophesied about a king coming into a city riding on a colt. Jesus’ coming fulfilled that prophecy amid many faces in the crowd. Join us this Sunday, as we experience the true king of peace, and what His coming means for you.
