Evening: Psalm 69:1-23; John 12:9-19
After
raising Lazarus, Jesus becomes a target for the religious authorities,
who are afraid of his power. But rather than seize power from the
Romans – as many expect and hope he will do – Jesus rides into Jerusalem
on a donkey! ... demonstrating that he is a king like no other. It is
his kind of humble leadership that will ultimately set the world to
rights, not raw power. And the people know it – they welcome him with
shouts of praise. Ironic, eh? ... It is humble leadership that attracts
our loyalty, whereas, as Proverbs says: “Pride goeth before a fall.”
