Entering Jerusalm

​

​

They brought it to Jesus,

threw their cloaks on the colt

and put Jesus on it.

As he went along, people spread

their cloaks on the road.

"Blessed is the king who comes

in the name of the Lord!"

"Peace in heaven and glory

in the highest!" Luke 19:35,36,38

Jesus entering to Jerusalm is

almost amusing procession;

a young man riding on a colt

and children shouting holding

palm tree blanches and people

spread their cloaks on the road.

It certainly does not look like

king’s or warlord’s triumph procession.

Jerusalm the city was overcrowded

with animals to sacrifice and people

who came from everywhere

for passover feast.

Here was the scene Jesus entering

to Jerusalm where he will be finally

sentenced to death.

Yet they shouted,

"Peace in heaven and glory

in the highest!"

This was the moment fulfilling

God’s covenant the Genesis 3:15,

starting from Luke 2:13,14.

Thus in God’s kingdom in heaven

was glory by God’s Son Jesus

obeying God to death and resurrection;

and in heaven above the earth

the devil was being defeated.

Finally peace in heaven again has been

prevailing.

This is the 5th lent week.

Next is the passion week: The week is that

Jesus was agonized in the steps of obedience of

his abandonment from God in order to take

all the sin of menkind and preparing for

his leaving the earth. It is most important week.

His agony was so extreme that he said

his soul was overwhelmed with sorrow to

the point of death.

All these were prophesied through

the prophet Isaiah 700 years ago.

They were summed up in Isaiah chapter 53.
