Episode notes

The clothes was a sign of great respect and you can imagine back in ancient Israel, even when Jesus is crucified, the soldiers try to decide who gets his clothes. They take their clothes, their cloaks, and they put them in front of him so that instead of riding on a dirt or cobblestone or whatever the surface was, he's riding on something softer. So there's the first big symbol that they do. Then the third is they use tree branches. Now what's the palm branch represent? In the ancient Middle East, the palm tree was, was seen kind of associated with kings and sort of shade and they used it for a lot of things.

How are the Triumphal Entry and a Hosanna shout connected? Dr. Keith Wilson explores Jesus’s glorious entry into Jerusalem and how modern-day disciples can honor Jesus Christ.
