On Palm Sunday, the crowd is clamoring for Christ's autograph and claiming Him king, yet just a few days later, they are ready to crucify Him. How did things change so quickly?
Was Jesus really speaking to their hearts on that joyous Sunday or was their adoration and praise merely rock band hysteria or maybe thoughts of personal gain? Was their 180 degree turnaround a result of "crowd think" or maybe their anger and bitterness that Jesus was not the king they expected Him to be?
Has anything changed today? Do we accept Christ when He is/does what we want, then reject Him when He's not? Do we treat our spouses, friends, family the same way?
(Luke 23:1-25)
