In Matthew 21, Jesus instructed His disciples to get the foal of a donkey, and after they laid their coats on it, Jesus sat on the coats. Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road. The crowds were shouting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Hosanna to the Son of David;\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord;\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHosanna in the highest!”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis moment when Jesus was recognized as King was a short-lived recognition in the eyes of the crowds, because He would be killed by the end of the same week. Jesus Himself knew this. Later in Matthew’s Gospel, He passionately lamented,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!

Symbols of the Trinity are embroidered into His garments, the garments themselves are purple, a sign of royalty. A woman in the background is touching Jesus, our reachable, touchable, King; a gesture that would have been totally unacceptable in that culture. In fact it was unacceptable for a man to speak to a woman publicly, yet Jesus did so to the Samaritan woman at the well when He declared Himself to be the Messiah for whom the world was waiting, the One who could forgive even the most humiliated of outcasts, making the way for inclusion into God’s family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cpre class=\"_28cEs\"\u003e\u003c\/pre\u003e\n\u003cpre class=\"_28cEs\"\u003e\u003c\/pre\u003e","brand":"Chapel Galleries","offers":[{"title":"small 20 x 30 Archival Paper giclee","offer_id":51182933901479,"sku":null,"price":309.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"medium 28 x 42 Archival Paper giclee","offer_id":51182933934247,"sku":null,"price":606.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"large 32 x 48 Archival Paper giclee","offer_id":51182933967015,"sku":null,"price":792.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"full size 40 x 60 Archival Paper giclee","offer_id":51182933999783,"sku":null,"price":1164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/0381\/8066\/files\/Triumphal_Entry_75_-90.jpg?v=1759425288","url":"https:\/\/chapelgalleries.com\/products\/the-triumphal-entry-archival-paper-giclees","provider":"Chapel Galleries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
