The "Triumphal Entry" was fleeting and in a few days Jesus was arrested, tortured and crucified. On Palm Sunday crowds had praised him saying, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." But a few days later the crowd was shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him! We have not king but Caesar!"
Our society is obsessed with another word for triumph - winning. It is important to note that the true win was not when Jesus was being praised, but when he went to the cross. On the cross he was doing what he had come to earth to do.
Our own true win is similar. We win when we deny ourselves, take up our own cross and follow Jesus.
