Teaching Jesus rides into the city on a donkey

Jesus is the gentle, humble King - He came riding on a donkey, full of peace, and He is worthy of our loudest "Hosanna!"

Jesus came as a King, but on a humble donkey instead of a war-horse. What does that tell us about what kind of King Jesus is?
The crowds waved palm branches and shouted "Hosanna!" How can we celebrate and praise Jesus today?
"Hosanna" means "Save us, please!" Why do we need Jesus to be our Rescuer-King?
