Mark 7:1–16.And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out [Luke 19:39–40].
"This episode of coming into Jerusalem as the Lord Jesus Christ did, was bound to incite the Roman rulers to act because of two things that He did. First, He accepted the reverence and loyalty of these followers. In the second place, He did not silence them.
The Lord Jesus Christ recognized that eternal and significant issues were at stake and that to rebuke His followers would force the silent stones to cry out. In fact, they were crying out, for when Nehemiah had rebuilt the walls and gates of the city, there was a message in the stones. Those very stones and walls were proclaiming the gospel message, and the gates were fairly shouting, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in” (Ps. 24:7). (For amplification of this, see the author’s booklet, The Gospel in the Gates of Jerusalem.
It should be remembered that the so”called triumphal entry ended at the cross. Christ will come the second time in triumph. Hebrews 9:28 says, “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” The second time the Lord will come to this earth, His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives (see Zech. 14:4). Then the Lord will enter Jerusalem. His true Triumphal Entry will be at His second coming. His first entry into Jerusalem took Him to the cross to die for our sins. By His death and resurrection, salvation is offered unto us." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 4:335
