The Significance of This Event

Say HiTHE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY JESUS INTO JERUSALEMThe four canonical gospels narrated the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This event marked the beginning of Jesus’ Passion.John’s gospel says it happened after Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead. The crowd that believed in Jesus after the miracle gathered the next day for the Feast in Jerusalem to welcome Jesus as He enters Jerusalem. The Synoptic gospel gave the account that as Jesus was descending from the Mount of Olive towards Jerusalem the crowds lay their clothes on the ground to welcome Jesus as He triumphantly enters Jerusalem.The triumphal entry was predicted in the Old Testament (Zechariah 9:9) and the three gospels agreed with the account in Zechariah that Jesus was coming from Mount Olive (Zechariah 14:1-5).Another significant point is that Jesus was not riding on a horse but on a donkey. He is not for war but for peace (Zech. 9:9). He is the Prince of Peace and peace He brought to our world.As we remember Jesus’ example as the King of Peace, let us be agents of peace in our own little corners too. www.ikoyibaptistchurch.org, instagram.com/@ikoyibaptisthurch, facebook.com/@ikoyibaptistchurch, x.com/@ikoyibaptistchurch.
