The Joe Rooz Show

The Colt, The Cross, and The Crossroads (Ep. 287)


Listen Later

In this Palm Sunday edition of the show, I walk through Matthew 21 and the Triumphal Entry to explore why the same crowds who cried “Hosanna” later shouted “Crucify him,” and what that contrast reveals about redemption, freedom, and the personal choice every one of us must make about Jesus Christ.

We trace the biblical symbolism of the unbroken colt, the need for redemption through the Lamb, and the “door” at the fork in the road—unpacking passages from Job, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Romans, Mark, John, and 2 Timothy to show how Scripture interprets Scripture and points to Christ’s kingship and mercy. 

From the round-pen picture of gentle submission to the garments of salvation, I encourage you to let Jesus take charge, choose the path of life, and prepare for next week’s Resurrection Day study before we resume our Revelation series. If you’re at a crossroads today, choose the Door—choose Jesus Christ.
