This one who was greeted as a king on Palm Sunday would suffer and die under a placard that read, "The King of the Jews." His triumphal entry into Jerusalem would force the hand of the Pharisees and the religious establishment and precipitate the event that He had come to fulfill. The week before Easter is "Palm Sunday", celebrating Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Whereas Christmas and Easter have many hymns in the LDS hymnbook, there is but one that celebrates this event: All Glory Laud and Honor 1.
All glory, laud, and honor To thee, Redeemer, King, To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring. Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David's royal. Celebrate Palm Sunday today by seeking first the Kingdom of God and devoting yourself to being His servant.

This week, we are caught up in the pivotal events of time and history in ways that are wondrous and jarring.
