The Gospel According To Luke | Luke 19:28-40 | Pastor Rob Haslam

After witnessing the crowd's enthusiasm, the Pharisees lamented, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!” This shows their frustration and fear of losing influence.  Ultimately, Jesus’ entry on a donkey presented a direct challenge to the Pharisees' expectations and authority, contributing to their growing hostility toward Him.  Jesus didn’t meet their expectations.    He did not act and function in the way the Pharisees believed he should.  As a result, they railed against Jesus and attempted to block his ministry wherever they could.  Jesus was not King over their expectations.  What about us?  How do we handle things when Jesus doesn’t act, function or respond in the way we expect him too?  What do we do when Jesus makes something happen that doesn’t fit in the box we nicely decorated for him to live in?  Is Jesus king over your expectations?
