Description:

Sometimes things are not entirely what they seem. Sometimes what we consider to be reality is actually a shadow of reality. Sometimes there is a "reality behind the reality". Such is the case when we consider David's beautiful song of praise, celebrating the "triumphal entry" of the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. We will discover, in this Palm Sunday meditation, that this is only a shadow of a greater reality-- when Jesus makes His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem over a thousand years later. But then we will learn that both of these events are only shadows of a still greater reality-- when the Son of Man triumphantly enters the gates of heaven to receive the glorious Kingdom of Christ. But ultimately all three realities celebrate the same glorious truth-- the triumphal entry of the King of Glory; and especially when that triumphal entry is into the hearts of believers!
