What a scene it must have been! Crowds surging through the streets of Jerusalem, waving palm branches, crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" It's a scene of excitement, of anticipation. We celebrate this each year on this day, Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week.
The people gathered had heard of Jesus. They had seen His miracles, perhaps even witnessed Him call Lazarus from death and the tomb. News about Jesus spread like wildfire. Here was a man who had power over death itself! Surely, they thought, He was the King who would free them from Roman oppression. Surely, He was the Messiah they had waited for. They were, of course, right, but not in the way they expected.
