Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace
Jesus Christ, as the Prince of Peace, is a concept that starts with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Palm Sunday is how the Church refers to that concept, which comes out of the story we find in all four gospels (see Matthew 21:1–11, Mark 11:1–11, Luke 19:28–44, and John 12:12–19). The Church refers to […]
