Passage: Matthew 21:1-10

Synopsis:

This week is the Passion Week, and today is the first day of the Passion Week, known as "Palm Sunday".  Growing up in the church I understood that Palm Sunday consisted of palm leaves and Jesus riding to Jerusalem on a donkey.  Although, I understood that these elements in the scene were significant, I really didn't understand why they were.  Today, I'll be sharing the symbolism and significance behind the different elements found in the scene of Palm Sunday as well as in regards to who Jesus is claiming Himself to be in this passage.
