In This Episode
What a powerful Palm Sunday message! Today, we’re diving into the moment Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey while the crowds shouted “Hosanna!” — even though they had no idea what was really about to happen.
Jesus knew exactly where this road was leading: betrayal, mocking, a crown of thorns, and the cross. Yet He still came. He still rode in. He did it anyway.
We also unpack the heart of the Gospel: why Jesus came, who He came for, and why we should never confuse temporary excitement for eternal purpose.
