Destination & Destiny

Matthew 21 marks the beginning of the final week of Jesus’ life. Today’s passage is traditionally referred to as the “triumphal entry.”  A triumphal entry in Jesus’ day resembled a victory parade.  After a nation was conquered, the general entered his hometown riding a warhorse with all the pomp and circumstance of a king.

Today, we have Jesus, as the King of kings, enter the city of Jerusalem even though He hasn’t conquered it.

Jesus also doesn’t have an army—He does have a ragtag group of Disciples. Jesus isn’t riding a warhorse either—but rather a donkey. Did Jesus not get the memo?! Regardless, Jesus arrives at His final destination and prepares for His destiny. How does this impact you today? Let’s find out!
