# V. 1-3. The incidents of this lesson stand
alone in its impressiveness; or rather in the
character of its i mpressiveness. It is a singu
lar blending of God’s foreordained purposes,
witli man’s perfect freedom of action—by
* which thoso purposes were to be carried out.
Jesus, as the true Messiah, had come to the
people to whom he was promised. All the
great works ascribed to the Messiah by their
♦ prophets, had keen w rought by him. Even
the soldiers were constrained to say, “Never
man spake as this man!” And now as ne
drew nigh to Jerusalem and knew* that ho
* was nearing the cross at every step thither,
ho also knew that his triumphal entry* into
the city must then he made; even as it was
foretold. “Ail things were ready.” The ap
pointed time had come. The people were
^.thronging in great multitu les about him.
w Not know ing why they did it, the owners of
the ass had tied her before his door, and
there she stood, awaiting the messengers
of tho rna^r, coming to claim her for his
L service. And so fan paused at Bethpbage, to

sent forward two of his disciples to thovil

that he told teem for what purpose the r.:.;s

tribute money. Matt, xvii, ~7. He did so in
the case of the two disciples sent to prepare ;
for the Passover, Mark xiv, 13. But lie did
not do so in this case. He seems to
, have sent ^ for the ass without , telling ... them ,
I why the animal was needed. there was
to be no prepai ation foi then playing a part,
No hinting to them what the prophet had
said, eo telling them what they would bo ,
expected to do. The time had come. The !
occasion would be silently brought
before them, and the rest would be as
the spirit moved them to act. And in this
direction these things are very clear, i.e.:
1. The Lord’s knowledge of coming events.
2. Some intimations of his power.
V. 4. This, manifestly, refers to the
Saviour's knowledge of what was to be done,
and his purpose in doing it, and not at all to
the disciples? They did what he told them
to do without, at that time, having anything
except that ho told them to do it. The pur¬
pose of it all lay in his own mind alone. lie
knew what was written. He knew why it
was written. He knew that the Ono was
corne, and that this proof of his Messiaship
was to be furnished against themselves by
the people to whom he came. And there¬
fore, all this was clone.
V. 5, 6. This prophesy is in Zaeh. ix, 9.
Nothing could be plainer. The time of the
coming kingdom had come. Their king him
se if bad come, and the shouts of tho multi
tude, as they proclaimed his coming, rent t ho
air. Would they receive their king.' It was
the crisis of Jerusalem's destiny. Who ea:i
! that this was not a real thing? ihatthi:.
triumphal entry into Jerusalem did not mean
the setting up of the kingdom then and there,
if the nation had received its king.
V. 7-0. And hero commences the disciples’
part, with that of the multitude. Thus far
Jesus had acted alone, and now the time f r
their action had come. Wo can o thj ;
ing of the process. Every line of t he record
adds some new feature to t he picture. Be !

strong impulse seized the groat multitude, as

Jerusalem. It was composed of two sections
—those that went before and thoso that fol

Listen! Why it is the strain of their
old prophets—a portion of the Great llallel
or song of praise—an acknowledged tribute
to tilo Messiah. See Ps. cxviii, 35,23. The
gomr passes from man to man; from those in
tho rear the gladsome strain rolls on: “Ho¬
sanna to the Son of David! Blessed be he
;hat comoth in the name of the Lord! Ho¬
sanna in the highest!” Those that went be¬
fore caught up the strain, and the air was
filled with its melody as the procession
swept on toward Jerusalem.
V. 10, 11. Nothing could bo more natural
than this. Of course, “the daughter of
Zion” would ask: “Who is this?” And there
could l>e no other answer than that which the
multitude gave.
V. 13, 13. This is the second of tho two
cleansings of the temple by our Lord. Tho
portion of the temple referred to hero was
the court of the Gentiles, into which alohe
such things as are hero named could )aj
taken. And because many Jews came from
foreign lands, they would need to change their
money into the shekel of the sanctuary. Ex¬
odus xiii, 13. But not even merchandise—
which is honest trade—can be tolerated in
the house of God. But hero it had d<*j. '*n
erated into lawless gain. And in each case
it was the silent exercise of his authority as
the son of man that made them go unresist¬
ingly out when the hope of their unlawful
^ain was thus swept away.
V. 14. How striking the contrasts of this
wonderful day! Tho solemn grandeur of the
triumphal entry into Jerusalem; his indig¬
nant driving the traders from the temple,
ill ,1 the tender sympathy for tho aliiirted u .1
f! y presented themselves G»fore him; how
K‘< tuLiful the record Is! How full of j tower
is this wondrous life!
V. 15, 1G. Why wen the chief priests and
scribes sore displeased f Clear y for two rea
sons:
1. The wonderful works of J sus; a l
2. The children's tribute to his r-
