Today, on Palm Sunday, I write about Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. In Matthew 21 it reads:
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

Laying their garments down for Christ's donkey to walk on was a massive expression of love and reverence. During this week as we prepare for Easter Sunday and General Conference, let us direct our thoughts to Christ. Let us think about how much we love and reverence Him. What might we do that is similar to laying down our clothes as He walks into Jerusalem?
I am going to read and ponder on the Atonement more this week. Specifically, I will read about the Garden of Gethsemane, the Crucifixion, and the resurrection. As I read and ponder, I feel I will be more prepared for General Conference and gain an even deeper gratitude for Christ's sacrifice.
