On the day we call Palm Sunday the Lord Jesus presented Himself to Israel as their King when He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Had He been astride a spirited horse, He would have looked more kingly. But Zechariah had prophesied He would come in the humble way that He did.

Why? Kings of the East rode donkeys when on errands of peace. The horse was used as a charger in war.

Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, the start of Holy Week. It commemorates Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem when olive and palm branches were strewn in his path with the people shouting "Hosanna!" meaning "Save us, we pray!" The ironic part is that only six days later, the very same people would be saying, "Crucify Him!"

In the Philippines, we commemorate the occasion with the blessing of woven coconut palms that we call palaspas. [DatePublished] => 2000-04-15 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => [AuthorName] => [SectionName] => Opinion [SectionUrl] => opinion [URL] => ) ) )
