As Jesus enters into the city, the crowds rush out with palm branches, singing songs of victory and welcoming Jesus as a king. But Jesus is not the kind of king they are expecting, and more than that, he knows that these same crowds will turn on him in just a few days when he fails to meet their misguided expectations.

For Reflection:

God is faithful even when we are fickle.

- God is faithful to keep promises, even when we don't recognize it at the time (e.g. v16). Have you ever experienced God's faithfulness only in hindsight? What happened? How has that experience changed you?

- The people are fickle rather than faithful. Jesus doesn't trust the crowds and neither should we. What helps you to seek Jesus' approval rather than the crowd's? Is there some way in which God might be inviting you to change your focus today?
