Next week, Christian churches around the world will celebrate Palm Sunday, and look back on the week that led up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. It began with the crowds of people lining the streets, waving palm branches, praising God and expecting Jesus to overthrow the Roman government and set up His earthly kingdom. Jesus knew that the crowd in Jerusalem - and even his own disciples - were confused about the kingdom He came to establish, so He told a parable to clear up any misconceptions before Passion Week began. To ensure that we fully understand His kingdom, it's important for us to look at what He said and what it means for us today.
