On Palm Sunday, the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is celebrated. We know that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt, the foal of a donkey, in fulfilment of the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9. Jesus was not only given a king’s welcome; He was greeted with the waving of palm branches. These details are far from incidental. Together, they tell a profound story: The people of Israel recognised the signs of the coming Messianic King, the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of David.
