Broken-For-Us EP3 - Humble Royalty

The triumphal entry into Jerusalem marked a transformative moment that redefined kingship through Jesus's intentional display of humble authority. Unlike traditional royal processions with their elaborate displays of power, Jesus chose to ride an unbroken colt - a young donkey that had never been ridden. This choice carried deep symbolic meaning, representing peace and humility while fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy from centuries before.Jesus demonstrated complete control through careful planning, from sending disciples to fetch the colt with specific instructions to timing His entry during Passover when Jerusalem would be filled with pilgrims. After entering the city, He proceeded to inspect the temple, examining both its glory and corruption, foreshadowing the spiritual cleansing to come. While the crowds welcomed Him with enthusiasm, spreading cloaks and branches while shouting Hosanna, they failed to understand that His kingdom would be established through sacrifice rather than military conquest. This event perfectly illustrates how true royalty in God's kingdom manifests through humble service rather than displays of power.
