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
