This past Sunday was Palm Sunday, and every year I am somewhat struck by the reality of the crowds at either end of this last week of Jesus' life. On Sunday, the crowds are lining the street, laying down Palm branches and cloaks and coats as a sign of respect. They shouting Hosanna, which is a phrase of praise or adoration, literally meaning, "Save us Now." The crowds gathered on Sunday recognized Jesus as a great and holy man.
Yet at the end of the week, we see crowds gathered again. This time, instead of shouting "Hosanna," they are shouting, "crucify him."
What happened in those last five days that the crowds would change so dramatically?
This weeks message explores that. To read it, click the link below...
