Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey to fulfill prophecies of the promised Messiah. Though he comes as King, his kingdom is unlike earthly kingdoms as it is spiritual in nature and promotes peace through love, light and life rather than military power. The crowds welcome Jesus as the Savior King by shouting praises and recognizing him as the descendant of David who comes in the name of the Lord to save them.
