Triumphal entry

This past Sunday we meditated upon the 1st triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. He was triumphant in that He entered the city in order to give His life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45) Of course the people who witnessed His entry and His subsequent crucifixion did not consider Him much of a victor. Three days later it was evidenced that He was victorious by rising from the dead. So, that was a summary of the first triumphal entry. The second triumphal entry is yet to happen but we look forward to His second coming to gather His chosen unto Himself and crush those who oppose Him. (Matthew 24:29-31; etc.) What a day that will be. Even so, come Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20)
