Palm Sunday - I can only imagine the events surrounding the Palm Sunday procession. Jesus, the one they thought was going to change the world - he had done so many other things - healing, raising people from the dead - this man was now making his way into Jerusalem. The time had come. They were cheering the warrior on to battle. He would go in there and clean house. No more political government, no more oppression. Change was coming, and they were all there to see it happen, to see him do it.

But once inside, there were no battles or overthrowing of government. Jesus continued to be with his disciples. They celebrated the Passover. People were waiting, anticipating, hoping. Wasn't he supposed to be their new king

Holy Week is the time of waiting just like the crowd and wondering what is Jesus going to do?
