7 They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats
on it, and Jesus sat on it. 8 Many people spread their coats on the road.
Others cut branches in the fields and spread them on the road. 9 The people
were walking ahead of Jesus and behind him, shouting,
“Praise God!
God bless the One who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 God bless the kingdom of our father David!
That kingdom
is coming!
Praise to God in heaven!”
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple.
After he had looked at everything, since it was already late, he went out to
Bethany with the twelve apostles.
(Mark 11:7-11) New Century Version
Today is Palm Sunday, the day
of Jesus’s triumphant return to Jerusalem. It is also the beginning of Holy Week.
There are some great stories in the Bible that take place between now and Good
Friday. Jesus tells some of His best parables and does some of His best
teaching this week. I would like to share them all with you, and I will in
time. But for the next week, until Easter Sunday, let me post some of the
highlights. I hope you read them all.
