When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” — Matthew 21:10-11The events of Palm Sunday are a lesson about expectations. The people of the time expected Jesus would gather an army to overthrow the Roman Empire and set up a new government. But Jesus never said he would do that. And when it became apparent that this was not going to happen, DISAPPOINTMENT took hold. In five days, the people went from CELEBRATION to CRUCIFIXION, But when the people were disappointed and abandoning Jesus, he was accomplishing his greatest work. What looked like defeat was actually leading up to the greatest victory in history. The truth is that when it seems like we can’t see God’s hand working around us, we need to trust His heart.Key Verses: Psalm 119:105, Psalms 69:1-3, Matthew 21:1-11
