the point on the road from Bethany to
Jerusalem where the city suddenly
breaks upon ones view. There He
beheld the city and wept over it
Jesus knew that the welcome voices
of the crowds might stir the city that
He loved with their popular enthu-
siasm. but that Jerusalem, frozen with
religious Journalism and socially unde-
monstrative.' would finally reject Him
and send the only hope of the nation to
tho cross.
He deliberately presented Himself to
them in a manner that aroused the
masses that had crowded into the city
for the Passover season, but which He
recognized would precipitate the final
rupture between the rulers and Him
self. There was a strong faith among
the Jewish people that the Messiah
would exercise His power in redeem
ing the Jews by annihilating their po-
l1tlcaI opponents and establishing Ju-
daism as the dominant nation among
the earthly powers. Jesus had refused
to encourage the militant piety that
cherished at that time the restoration
of the nations political power. His
selection of the ass was a symbol of
His peaceful program. If He had en-
couraged the Zealots, who were filed
with political ambitions, the Master
could have overturned the Roman pow
er and secured the support of the &c
clesiastical rulers. who stood like a
stone wall when the waves of the en-
thusiasm of the multitude moved the
city like an earthquake
Christ recognized that little depend
ence could be placed upon popular en-
thusiasm. He knew that His ideals and
methods were radically different from
the chanting hosts that We're singing
their welcome, "Hosanna! Blessed is he
that cometh in the name of the Lord
even the King Of Israel" The chorus
with which they greeted the Christ as
the Messiah was a Hebrew expression

The success of the triumphal process
