"They brought it (young donkey) to Jesus, threw their
cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread
their cloaks on the road.
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,
the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for
all the miracles they had seen: 'Blessed
is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in
the highest!'"

the last book in the Old Testament.
Think On this day the people loved Jesus. In just a few days the people
will want to kill Jesus.
