MT 21.1-11 Mar 29-26 Hail to the King: When Adoration Turns to Betrayal
from A Psychologist looks at Scripture
Send us Fan MailThere are many spiritual lessons in this seemly simple Gospel. At the beginning of the Gospel Jesus gives very specific instructions. I suspect Matthew is telling his listeners that Jesus knew what was going on and that this was a very deliberate act. I wonder what Jesus was thinking about while he was on the colt entering the city. He is listening to the people shout hosanna, wave palm branches which was a customary way to welcome an important dignitary. I am sure he appreciated the warm welcome he was receiving from the people. But he knew that the same people who were honouring him with the words “Hosanna” would within a week be yelling “crucify him” as he was carrying his cross. It is often stated that Jesus knew what thoughts were in people’s hearts, check out John 2:24-25. It must have been a difficult time for him. Complete our 1 Minute Survey
