Book of the Bible: Matthew 21

Into Jerusalem

Into Jerusalem

Matthew chapter 21 tells of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Why was it that Jesus was so hush-hush about his identity/work early on in the gospels but later so public, especially during the triumphal entry? Why was it so astonishing that Jesus rode in on a colt vs. on a warhorse? What significance might the waving of palm branches have? The sermon reveals Jesus as a confrontational king, a counterintuitive king, and a coming king.
