The Disappointing Jesus

In John chapter twelve we come to the "Triumphal Entry" of Jesus into Jerusalem. That is an ironic title when you think about it. He didn't come on a war-horse brandishing a sword and declaring his victory. He came, instead, on a young donkey, in humility.

The people welcomed Jesus enthusiastically on that day, but less than a week later they would be in the crowd that called for his crucifixion and said, "We have not king but Caesar."

Jesus is the great King. But he is a big disappointment to people who are looking for fulfillment in this world's system.
