The glorious praise of Palm Sunday soon morphed into betrayal, denial, and ultimately crucifixion. That is not to say that those who shouted His praise on Palm Sunday were the same people who screamed for His crucifixion on Friday, but only to say God’s ways are not our ways. The beleaguered worshippers of Palm Sunday longed for deliverance from the tyranny of their enemies. God had something better in mind—deliverance from the tyranny of sin and death!

“’My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,’ says the Lord.
‘And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.'”

— Isaiah 55:8 (NLT)

Lord Jesus deliver us from our misconceptions. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
