Jesua (me 12, 13). 13. The neXt daY

ish Sabbath, the feast was given at
Staten's houae, where Mary auointed
the head and feet of ems, It wee

triumphal entry took Place. Mitch
People thot were come to the feast -
The feast was the Passover, which
was held Annually to celebrate the d0.
liverauce of the Israelites from EgYP-
tlan bondage. The multitudes who
eame to Jerusalem from all parts ot
Palestine and from XUUZIY fereign
oountrles were very great. A census
ie said to have been taken in Nero's
ttme of the pilgrims atteudiug the
feast of the Passover, and the number
was found. to be over two and a hall
million, '111I5 indicates the interest
that existed in the observance of this
feast. Heard that Jesus 'was corning
-The important utterances and the
great Miracles that had been crowded
into the three and a half years of his
public ministry had resulted in spread.
Ing his name far and wide. The
multitudes at Jerusalem' heard that
Jesus was approaching the city and
they were intensely eager to see bile.
They were impressed with the thought
O f his greatness and goodness, and
were ready to accord highest homage
to him. 13. Took branches of palm
times -"Took the branches of the
PaIna trees." -R. V. The language in-
dicates that there were palm trees
growing along ,the road between Beth-
any and Jerusalem, and the people
took branches trom them to do honor
te Jesus. .The palm is recognized as
an emblem of victory and rejoicing.
The fact that the people took these
Palm branches "and went forth to
rneet !Melts evidence that .they be -
'laved in His kingship. They wuole
welcome hien to the sacred city, the
centre of the great Jewish system of
religion, as the one who was to come
to WW1 the prophecies uttered cen- •
tortes before. Hosanna --This is the
Hebrew word translated to the. Greek
and passed on into the English. it
means, "Save, we pray." It was used
on this ()echelon in adoration ot him
whom the multitudes were hailing as
ling. Blessed -Happy, honored, adored.
The King of Israel -This is an ack-
nowledgment that Jesus was the Mes-
elan, the king who was to come. The
prophets spoke of him under the title
of king (Isa. 32: 1; Jer. 23: 5; Zech.
9: 9). The idea the multitudes had
of the nature and work of the Messiah
was vague and crude, yet they were
eager to recognize his kingship. In
the name of the Lord -He came not
only in the strength of the Lord and
with his authority, but also as divine,
apsuming man's nature that he might
Make an atonement for the sins of the
vtorld. The different evangelists re-
cord different forms. of this ascription
of praise, and taken together they are
most expressive. "Hosanna to the
sea of DaVid: Blessed is he that
cometit in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna h the highest" (Matt. 21: 9);
"Hosanna; 13Iessed is he that cornett'
in the name of the Lord: Blessed be
the kingdom of our father David, that
cometh in ;'the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest" Mark 11; 9,
19) "Blessed be the King that -eometh
in the name of the'Lord: peace in
heaven, and glory in the highest"
fLuke 19; • 38); "Hosanna: Blessed is
ttie King oe Israel that cornett), in the
leterne of the Lord" (John 12: 13).
tIl. Coming in humility and triumph
(rs. 14-19). 14. Found a young ass -
The other evangelist gives an account
py Christ's tending two of his discile-
les, prehunably Peter and John, into
a village near to Bethany to find a,n
aera and her colt tied, which they were
to bring to him. Jesus told the two
• disciples that they should tell any who
might question why they were taking
tee animals that the Master needed
tem. Sat thereon -This is the only
bestance during Christ's public minis-
try of his •traveling in any way on
lend except on foot. As it is written
gene reference is to Zech. 9;9. In
this passage Jesus is spoken Of as be-
ing a King, and at UM same time as
'Iewly. 15. Daughter of Sione-The
People of Israel. Thy King cometh -
Jesus came to establish a spiritual
kingdom and not to rule as a ntighte
earthly sovereign. He came directly
to the Jews, but he came also to all
the world. He is to bear the title,
"King of kings," and happy are they
who In this life own his authority and
render hearty obedience to him. Sit-
ting on an ass' colt -It was a young
animal, on which no one had ever rid -

the east and is almost indispensable.

e.6. Understood not - The minds of
the disciples were not. prepared bolero -
hand for this extraordinary scene.
Itheir Master appeared to them in a
new office, and they wondered at the
homage that was paid to him. They
tailed to reeall tho scripture texts that
show that this wee a part of the di-
vtue plan ot working out human re-
demption; but after the ascension ot
Jesus they remembered what had been
fteretold and then they understood the
ituport Imo his triumphal entry into
Jerusalem. 17. The people therefore

Was still fresh in the minds of the
people. Those who were present
when Jesus called Lazarus from the
tomb gave wide publication to the

tracted to jesus. Even the Pharisee
admitted that this miracle had been
wrought a,nd they were powerless to
keep the people front flocking to him,

111. Greelte seealng for Jesus (vio 20-
26.) 20-22. Among time who came
to Jerusalem to worship at the feast
there were 601110 01 Greelan descent.
They were probably proselytes to the
Jewish faith, but heel not fully con.
formed. to Jewisn customs, They had
heard of the miracles which Jesus had
wrought and were desereus ot seeing
Mtn. They made this desire known to
Philip, who in turn told Andrew.
These disciples bore the request to
Jesus. 2a-26, In answer to the desire
of the Greeks to see him. Jesus made
it very clear that his mission was not
to become a great earthly ruler, but
he must become "obedient unto
death" and "he glorified." 'ehe grain
of wheat muet fall into tho ground
and be buried before it can become
'fruitful in producing a barveet. Jesus
must go through the ordeal of (Mate
In order to accomplish his glorious
mission of making possible the salva-
tion of the race. The Greeks were
shown that eternal life might become
their possession upou the condition ot
surrendering all to Jesus. The earth-
ly life must become fully subservient
to the spiritual life if one would have
the lite that is eternal. The way is
open to all who will follow Jesus. The
followers of Roue enter upon a life
of eervice; but the servant is in close
fellowship with the Master and will
receive honor trom the Father.

II. Explained in its spiritual iiil

1, Indicated by the joyous multi-
tude. Both the Jews of Jerusalem and
those he attendance at the Passover,
bore witness to the miracle, the tale -
Ing of Lazarus, which led to the dem-
onstration the day following the sup-
per at Bethany. With palm branches,
symbols of triumph, and with loud
acclamations they welcomed the
King to the Royal city. Until then
.)esus had reststed and restricted the
enthusiasm of the people. Now the
time had come for him to accept it. Ilie
entry into Jerusalem was in accord-
ance with duty and necessity, the
carrying out ot an eternal plan indi-
cated six hundred yeare before. Two
things were to be done, first openly to
announce his true relation to the theo-
cracy and to assert' himself in such it
way as to give no countenance to mis-
taken Messianic ideas. He who has ta-
citly claimed to be Zion's King, , who
had repeatedly proved his right to 'such
dignity and had established it by the
miracle at Bethany, now asserted it in
the most open manner by riding in
royal state into his capital, to complete
his work, He was no usurper, but one
to whom the throne belonged by divine
appointment. The event seemed At
t first to confound the plot of the Mari-
) sees. The nation seemed to be slip-
ping from their hands. They seemed
to blame eagle other for the frustratioa
ot their plans, They evidently con-
cluded that the time had passed for
half -measures and therefore prepared
to adopt the more extreme measures
suggested by Caiaphas. The day was
memorable for its surprises and rever-
sals of judgment. The hopes and vis-
ions of the disciples were doomed to,
disappointment. -
IL Explained in its iepiritual im-
port. The Greeks wore representatives
of the great Gentile world seeking after
Jesus, ready, it would aopear, to enter
his kingdom. Their request was for a
private -conversation with Jesus on re-
ligious subjects. They may have cher-
ished some deeire aud hope of being
admitted into the number of 'Christ's
diseiples. It is significant that they,
as proselytes of the Gentiles, should be
so anxious to see Jesus at a time when
the Pharisees were taking steps for his
destruction in a spirit of deepest bat -
red, Jesus regarded the regitest of the
Greeks as an indication that the criels
Of his course was at hand; not that he

eomed it as it eame, as he looked

approaching hour in the Saviour's life
was that for which all others had pre-
pared, which had been foretold, ex-
pected and Waited for. It was the hour
ot the apparent success of his foes. It
was the hour of his humiliation and
woe. It was the hour of sacrifice and
redemption. Sinus knewthat he must
die in order to become to Mankind the
source of spiritual and eternal life.
His truest glory was to consiet in the
salvation of multitudes by means, of
his satrifice atid intercession. The
includieg bf Jews and Gentiles In "one
new humanity" made up the triumph
of Christ's spiritual Kingship. The
principle of death and fruitfulness as

obedience unto death. the spiritual
hopes of a whole race. The prospect of
approaching suffering and of future
victory stirred aud troubled his soul
with a mighty emotion. In the coin-
