Palm Sunday and we remember that the King of Kings rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey." (Zechariah 9:9) ... "All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King, To whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!" (Theodulph of Orleans, c.820) How different the shouts that greeted Him just a few days later. Still, He set His face toward Jerusalem and the completion of our salvation. "Ride on! Ride on in majesty!"
