The triumphal entry of Jesus serves as a powerful reminder of His kingship, both past, present, and future. Unlike earthly rulers, Jesus is the epitome of honor, honesty, justice, and protection. But His reign extends far beyond these qualities, as He alone has the power to deliver us from our deepest, darkest enemies.

The procession during the triumphal entry is not a celebration of a victory already won, but rather a testament to the absolute certainty of God’s unchanging plan. Jesus’ untying of the unridden colt is a display of His sovereign and preeminent authority, while His humble choice to ride a donkey colt fulfills a prophecy and reveals His transcending majesty and relatability to us. The laying of cloaks on the road and the shouting of “Hosanna!” demonstrate the reverence, allegiance, and respect that Jesus deserves as the only one who can save us.
