Today marks the beginning of Holy Week. At Christ the King we celebrate Palm Sunday today, and Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem…but note that this is just the beginning of the end. We must witness the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples on Maundy Thursday, and journey to the cross on Good Friday, before beholding the empty tomb.

- Why do the crowds gather around Jesus and shout Hosanna? What are they looking for?
- What do you notice about Jesus’ demeanor as he enters this city of hostility and eventual trial and conviction?
- Matthew reports that the whole city was in turmoil, asking, Who is this? How might different people in Jerusalem answer that question? How do you answer that question?
