When Jesus came into town riding a donkey. It meant that he came in peace.
When the people waved palm branches and yelled Hosanna. It meant that they saw him as a king and wanted him to save them now.
That is the easy part of Palm Sunday. The hard part is that the saving that Jesus was going to do...wasn't going to come in the way they wanted it.
What will you do when your salvation doesn't come in the form you were hoping for? Well, if you're desperate you'll take it. If not...you might just yell crucify him.
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
