Jesus came as King, but not the kind people wanted.

On Palm Sunday, crowds celebrated, shouted praise, and welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem. But their expectations were shaped by what they wanted most—power, control, and immediate relief. When Jesus didn’t meet those expectations, many missed who He truly was.

In this message, we’re challenged to examine our own expectations of Jesus. Do we want a King who serves our plans, or are we willing to surrender to the King who transforms our hearts?

Palm Sunday reminds us that the way Jesus saves isn’t always the way we would choose. The way up is down. The path to life goes through surrender.

The question is not just whether we celebrate Jesus, but whether we truly follow Him.
