It's a sobering passage, but it reveals Jesus love for this world and how committed He is to rid this world of everything poisonous.

The Correction of Jesus

 Scripture Reference: Matthew 21:1-11, 14-16

Our hero enters Jerusalem in a way that reveals very clearly his claims about himself and therefore stirs up quite a bit of energy. Jesus' parade into town on what is now known as "Palm Sunday" is boldly proclaiming Himself as King. However, this King's carrier is a common donkey. Combine these two facts, and Jesus is revealing just the kind of King that He is! One that is humble enough to die for His people.

The Hero Is King
The Hero Is Humble

Scripture Reference: Matthew 24:1-35
