A Day of Celebration

With many people, Jesus traveled into Jerusalem. The people were joyous awaiting a time of celebration. The festive atmosphere turned up a notch when Jesus asked one of his disciples to secure a donkey. They knew that  a person riding into a city on a donkey represented a King.

The imagery was planted into the people's thoughts, especially the kids. They ran and took down palm branches and began to wave them. Adults tried to stop them, Jesus stopped the stoppers.

Those adults would succeed in silencing Jesus in the week to come. But he was only silenced for 3 days.
