As Jesus enters Jerusalem, he wants to make it absolutely clear what kind of a king he will be. Not the kind of king we may expect. Not the kind of king we may want. But most certainly the king that we need. A king who will save. A king who will humble himself to death. A king worthy of our allegiance and praise.
