Jesus enters Jerusalem during the Passover–which was a tense time as it marked Israel’s deliverance from an occupier.  Contextually Rome is the now the occupier. The triumphal entry and Temple demonstration should involves Jesus “initiating conflict during a stressful period with revolutionary associations.”  Of all the rulers of the world, we pay homage to the Humble King who rides in on a Donkey.
