On Palm Sunday we celebrate the King who was to free us from our oppressors. Jesus entered Jerusalem during a large feast time called Passover. The faithful would gather to remember that God had spared their ancestors from destruction in Egypt. God set them free through the sacrifice of the perfect lamb that each family sacrificed and used the blood to seal the doors of their homes.
In Jesus time on earth, the Israelites were under Roman oppression and life was hard. They wanted a leader who would set them free from the government. But Jesus came to do so much more. The problem was that the people really didn’t understand it. So on Sunday they would hail Him as their leader. On Friday they’d crucify Him as a criminal. The Parade had turned to Peril. Let’s explore together the importance of remember the road Jesus traveled that week. Hear more at: http://bit.ly/blsTbS
