Today is Palm Sunday. It's that day during the church year that we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. It's the one place that Jesus should have avoided, and yet today we are reminded that He went willingly. I'm overwhelmed at that thought...
The city was filled with people. In fact, it is estimated that some 2.5 million people had gathered there. They had come to Jerusalem for a purpose. Today was "lamb selection day"; that day when the head of each household would select the passover lamb for their family.
