Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;
and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Psalm 24:7-8 KJV
**********
Jesus, entering Jerusalem on a borrowed, unbroken colt amidst the crowds going up to celebrate Passover, was publicly proclaiming Himself as the long-expected Messiah. This video captures the different moods that day: the people’s excitement, the disciples’ delight, the Roman stoicism … and the joy and love on the face of Jesus.
Love and joy for each person, even though He knew that within a few days “Hosanna!” would become “Crucify!”
And the same love and joy when He looks at you and me.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;

Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.
