This week, Pastor Dennis Allan walks through the story of Jesus’s final week from the perspective of the crowd who received Jesus with shouts of “Hosanna!” as he entered Jerusalem and, less than a week later, shouted “Crucify Him!” How does one crowd receive Jesus as a king and another crowd condemn Jesus as a criminal? What happened in that one week that moved people from believing Jesus might be the long-awaited Messiah who would sit on David’s throne, overthrow Rome, and restore Israel to its rightful place in the geo-political order to thinking He was just another pretender? The Jewish people had been taught be their religious leaders to expect a particular kind of Messiah. They weren’t prepared for a king who told them exactly who He was by riding a donkey, a symbol of humility and peace, into the city. When Jesus doesn’t do what we want and when He doesn’t perform how we expect we can, like the crowd, turn on Him. But, if we lean in and listen as Jesus tells us who He is, we will discover a person who can transform us.
