1 | Why the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem | Gen 1:1 | dalida | 81174 | ||
In the story of the Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem, why did Jesus choose to do this? He obviously knew the prophecy, so was he only doing it to fulfil the prophecy or was there a deeper reason? | ||||||
2 | Why the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem | Gen 1:1 | Songbirdca | 81180 | ||
I think to fulfill prophecy. You will notice in Matt. 21:1-11 that Jesus sends the disciples ahead to get a donkey and her colt. He knew where they were. He sent the disciples to the next village to find them. When they brought them to Jesus they placed their own cloaks on them and Jesus sat on them. But what happens next? As he approaches Jerusalem the people throw their own cloaks on the ground for Jesus to walk on. They praise him up and down! Jesus knew he had to come into Jerusalem on a Donkey, that would fulfill prophecy, but there was no way he could make the people see him as a King and adore him like they did. They praised and adored him all on their own. So maybe, it was a little bit of both, to fulfill the prophecy and because he needed to know if the people would recognize him. | ||||||
