It also examines potential issues with nihilism and existentialist ideas like personal responsibility and living an authentic life.

An ass plodding slowly.
Lots of people calling Hosanna.
Much noise from the people.

None of the Pharisees belived in Jesus.
Hosanna

down
A very special for Jesus and his people
You should have faith in the Lord.
