Jesus’ followers zealously honored Him as He entered Jerusalem a few days before His crucifixion. The multitude rejoiced and praised God for “all the miracles they had seen“ (v37). Jesus’ devotees surrounded Him, calling out, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” Their enthusiastic honor affected the people of Jerusalem. When Jesus finally arrived, the whole city was stirred and ask, “Who is this?” Today, people are still curious about Jesus. Although we can’t pave His way with palm branches or shout praises to Him in person, we can still honor Him. We can discuss His marvelous works, assist people in need, patiently bear insults, and love each other deeply. Then we must be ready to answer the onlookers who ask, “Who is Jesus? We honor God’s name when we call Him our Father and live like His Son.
