Mark 11:8-11
8 Many in the crowd spread their coats on the road ahead of Jesus, and others cut leafy branches in the fields and spread them along the way. 9 He was in the center of the procession, and the crowds all around him were shouting,
"Praise God!
Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Bless the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!
Praise God in highest heaven!"  
11 So Jesus came to Jerusalem and went into the Temple. He looked around carefully at everything, and then he left because it was late in the afternoon. Then he went out to Bethany with the twelve disciples. (NLT)
During Jesus’ time when a King went to war he rode a horse but when there was peace he rode into the city on a donkey. The people believed that Jesus was the Messiah, which He was, but they did not fully understand scripture. The Old Testament shows the mountain peaks and not the details of the valleys. They believed that Jesus was going to step up His Kingdom at that time but He was not going to yet for it was just the peak of the mountain and there was more to finish before His true reign.
The praise was warranted and still is. We should still be praising God for the coming Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
Jesus entered the courts to examine everything, to see if the matters pertaining to the divine worship were properly conducted.  Having examined everything.  He saw the abuses which he afterward corrected. Jesus did not correct them right away, because it may be observed that God is slow to anger; that he does not at once smite the guilty, but waits patiently before he rebukes and chastises.
Sin is a series matter and it caused our Savior to go to the Cross. We should not take sin lightly but to repent of our sins and follow our Savior in obedience.
