Commentary
Mark 11 is a chapter that speaks to the power of faith and the importance of trusting in God. In this chapter, Jesus enters Jerusalem and is met with a great celebration. The people are so excited to see him that they lay down their cloaks and palm branches in his path. This is a powerful demonstration of faith and devotion to Jesus.
