We live in a politically divided time. Accusations of election fraud are still on the news. Executive orders and sweeping political changes are on the horizon. The evening news fixates on the political issues of our day telling us our problems would be solved if we could overthrow the people in power. Not much has changed since the days of Jesus. At that time the Jews were convinced their source of trouble was the Romans that were in political power over them. They desperately wanted Jesus to help them overthrow the Romans, and if he did, they were convinced their problems would go away. As we study the Triumphal Entry, we discover how easy it is to follow Jesus for the wrong reasons and to look to Jesus for the wrong solutions.
