Can you imagine what must have been going through Jesus’ mind as he sat on the back of a young donkey and made his way to Jerusalem the Sunday before his Crucifixion? We call it the triumphal entry, The triumphal entry of a man who is riding toward his death.
A week before the Friday of his death, Jesus approached Jerusalem. He finds himself in Bethany. A small village to the east of Jerusalem. His friends live there. Mary, Martha, and a man who had been dead a few weeks prior. You’ll remember him by the name of Lazarus.
