The Unsettling Entrance of the King

John 11:55-12:19

Today we call it Palm Sunday or the Triumphal Entry. This passage reflects the celebration of the Jewish Passover but with an added twist. The crowds proclaim Jesus as their king. The rulers fear an upset to their authority. Judas is seeking to gain something for himself, but Mary worships Him. Jesus’ agenda is not what any of them are expecting.
