Jesus Enters Jerusalem
Jesus walked about for several years telling people
everywhere about the Good News of the Kingdom.  Many people
believed His message and followed Him.  Some hardened
their heart and did not receive the Truth.  Now the end of
Jesus' ministry on the earth drew near.  Jesus had to go to
Jerusalem to be put to death for the sins of the world.
When Jesus and His disciples came near to the city, Jesus
told His disciples to bring Him a young donkey to ride on.
The disciples brought Him a donkey. As Jesus rode the donkey
into Jerusalem, people began to lay palm branches down for
Him to ride on.  The people were happy to see Jesus.  They
shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!"  "Blessed is He who
comes in the name of the Lord!"  "Hosanna in the highest!"
The whole city was excited.  A few days later Jesus was
crucified for our sins.  He lay in the tomb for three days.
Then the Father raised Him up!  Jesus is alive!
