Every Palm Sunday, (The Sunday before Easter), we are reminded of the story of a crowd of people ravenously celebrating the “triumphant arrival” of Jesus into their town.
That same crowd of people, in that same town, just a few days later are just as ravenous in their opposition as they were in their praise.
How? Why? And, what can we learn from such a turn-of-a-dime reversal? Could it be that Jesus wasn’t willing to meet the purpose of their praise? Could it be that His mission didn’t match their passion? And, could it be that we are just as guilty of asking God to live on our terms as the crowd was that infamous day?
