Common Ground

Matthew 21:1-11 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” Palm Sunday is a revolutionary battle cry for a king! The only issue is, what kind of king are we shouting for? The crowds on that day shouted "Hosanna" which translated means "Save Us." What they meant was "save us" from the Roman occupation, however, what Jesus had it mind was a much more holistic salvation!
