From the House of the Poor to the King’s Parade: The Intentional Arrival of Jesus

In Part 41 of Just Jesus: A Journey Through Mark, Pastor Greg guides us as we watch Jesus approach Jerusalem with deliberate, prophetic precision. From Bethany (the House of Affliction) to Bethphage (the House of Unripe Fruit) every step toward the Triumphal Entry is loaded with meaning. This is no accidental parade. The King arranges His own arrival, fulfills ancient prophecy, rides a consecrated colt, and receives the cries of “Hosanna!” as the true Passover Lamb enters the city. But when the shouting fades, Jesus quietly inspects the Temple and then returns to Bethany for the night. That silence changes everything. What does the King see when He looks around? And what will He find when He examines the temple of our hearts?
