** We apologize for the low video quality. We had a computer issue this past weekend.Have you ever celebrated something only to realize you missed the real message?Drop a ✋ if you've ever gone through the motions and forgot what it was really about.This morning, I was reminded that Palm Sunday isn’t just about waving palm branches or shouting “Hosanna.”It’s about the King coming humbly to bring peace — not overthrow Rome with swords, but to conquer our hearts with love.The people cheered because they wanted a conquering king, a hero to restore their glory.But Jesus came riding on a donkey — symbolizing peace, not war.They missed it because they were looking for an external victory, not a heart transformation.Do we sometimes do the same?Expect Jesus to fix everything on the surface — but miss the thing He’s really after: our surrender.True victory starts when we stop cheering for the king we want, and accept the one who comes humbly — bringing peace, not just power.Are you ready to surrender your expectations and truly follow the peaceful King?Remember, it’s not just about Sunday — it’s about every day we choose Him as Lord.What will you do tomorrow?
