#13 – So, What’s Triumphal About a Donkey?
Knowing Faith
Quick Fire Tips for Bible Readers and Young Theologians
This chapter offers practical advice for Bible readers on marking up texts for a deeper understanding and encourages young theologians to engage in community-based theology, learning from peers and fostering discussion.
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley talk about Matthew 21 and Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. What does this mean for His rule and reign in the Kingdom of God and what does it mean for us?
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- When we get to the triumphal entry, where are we at in Matthew? What’s been happening?
- What are some key themes we see in the book of Matthew?
- Is there any significance to the donkey, or is it just an animal that he picked for his transportation?
- What is triumphal about Christ’s entry? Why is this significant?
- What does “Hosanna” mean? Is it important that Jesus is referred to as the “Son of David?”
- Does the triumphal entry connect to enthronement and coronation?
- So, Jesus enters the temple, and starts flipping tables. Why? And, why now? He’s been to Jerusalem and presumably this was happening then as well, why is he flipping them now?
Helpful Definitions:
- Hosanna: Save
