Palm Sunday begins Holy Week with celebration—but it also reveals a profound misunderstanding about the kind of king Jesus came to be. In this episode, Scott Sauls reflects on the moment when crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem with palm branches and cries of “Hosanna,” believing he would overthrow their oppressors and restore their nation. Yet within days, those expectations collapsed when Jesus chose the path of suffering and the cross instead of political power. This conversation explores the tension between the Messiah people wanted and the Messiah who actually came—and what Palm Sunday still exposes about our own expectations of God today.
