“Riding for Mercy” Luke 19:28-44

Today is Palm Sunday, the day we remember, what is often called Jesus’ “triumphal entry” into Jerusalem. It was a day filled with significance, emotion and the revelation of God’s character. It wasn’t just when Jesus was recognized by some as the King, it was when Jesus showed us all the heart of our King. I’m not sure it was a triumph, but it also wasn’t a defeat, it was a day when those who were really looking saw God as they had never seen Him before, and a day in which those who had already make up their minds dug their heels in and decided to do whatever was necessary to prove their opinion and to fulfill their plans.
