Donkey vs Palms

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, tells the story of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. He paints the picture of this parade into Jerusalem with Jesus mounted on a donkey followed by crowds of people shouting, waving palm branches and throwing their cloaks on the ground for this caravan to pass over. He compares it to a parade welcoming home a sports champion. It is pointed out that the Jews expected him to be a warrior king to overthrow the Roman oppressor. The message that Jesus was sending by arriving on donkey is discussed. Dr. Hall also analyzes the symbolism of of the palm branches and the robes and cloaks tossed on the ground at the feet of Jesus’ donkey. Jesus came as a servant king, not a warrior king. The podcast ends with the reason that Jesus cried when He saw Jerusalem. Can be heard on all podcast search engines and viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/Vn1w4ywfF2U.
