Reading the Gospels Together The Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem – Part 4 For now it is important that we think about what we have read in all four gospels. There is much in agreement among them in spite of some differences! It is important that we notice that agreement. All four gospel writers tell of Jesus using a symbolic action as he entered Jerusalem in which Jesus makes it clear that he comes as King Jesus! The fact that all four gospel writers tell this story makes it almost certain that Jesus really did participate in the symbolic action and that he meant to do so. And that is the most important thing in the story. We have gained a good deal in hearing these gospels together as we seek to understand. We will need to think more about what it means for Jesus to be King Jesus, but that he meant to convey that message is clear. We will see how that works out as we move forward in the story.
