How could the crowd's excitement for Jesus along the Palm Sunday road evaporate so quickly? In less than a week, they would go from wanting to crown him as king, to wanting to crucify him as criminal. Whether it's the world of politics, sports, marriage, or friendship, a person's devotion can turn on a dime when their own self-interests are in jeopardy. It's sad, but true. The road to the cross was paved with the self-interests of people. But contrast their self-interests with Jesus' selfless love! The people thought they were crucifying Jesus, when, truth is, He laid down His own life. In the end, love won out!
