The Triumphal Entry of Jesus!

I just read this and I was so fired up and nearly in tears. I imagine someday people in this coffee shop where I have many quiet times are going to start thinking I am a bit crazy. As you read it, I highly recommend having this song play in the background

Mark 11:1-10

¹As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, ²saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. ³If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.' "

⁴They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, ⁵some people standing there asked, "What are you doing, untying that colt?" ⁶They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. ⁷When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. ⁸Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. ⁹Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
"Hosanna!"
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
¹⁰"Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!"
"Hosanna in the highest!"

The scene is so epic! The people believed Jesus was going to be like the kings of the world and come and reign over them, and they honored him as such. Little did they know, Jesus would do so much more than that! He was riding into the city in which he knew he would die, and there Jesus would conquer what they could not see, he would triumph over Satan!

HOSANNA!!
HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST!!!
