From Hero to Public Execution in Five Days: What Really Happened After Palm Sunday

Sunday: "Hosanna! Save us!" The crowd celebrates Him as their hero.Friday: "Crucify Him!" Same crowd demands His execution.Five days. What happened?When given a choice between Jesus (innocent) and Barabbas (a murderer), the crowd chose the murderer.How do you go from celebration to execution in five days?Most of us are making the same mistake.We want "Hosanna"—God showing up on our terms, our timeline, our way.But God shows up as Jesus—not always when or how we expect.When He doesn't meet our expectations? We get disappointed. Offended. We walk away.The crowd wanted a political king. He rode in on a donkey.They wanted revenge. He taught forgiveness.They wanted their version of deliverance. He offered something better.He didn't fit their image. So they killed Him.IN THIS EPISODE:• What "Hosanna" actually means• Why the crowd turned in five days• The question you must answer: Are you looking for Hosanna or Jesus?This isn't just history. It's about how we approach God today.The crowd wanted Hosanna but got Jesus. They crucified Him because He didn't meet their expectations.Don't make the same mistake.STILL UNLEARNING with Nelson Jackson IIChallenging narratives.
