Throughout the gospels, we see people struggling with one incredibly important question: "Who is Jesus?" The Jewish people were expecting a mighty king to save them, but few were expecting that king to look and sound like Jesus. Regardless, as he rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey in accordance with prophecy with people crying "Hosanna to the Son of David," it became clear that Jesus was indeed the king who brings salvation. So where does that leave us? Jesus was more than a teacher, but the true king whose "dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the Earth." As his worshipers and subjects, we are called to give up everything, including what is most precious, to glorify him. We are called to give up the false kings that make us the most excited and to which we devote the bulk of our time and instead focus on putting the will of our true king at the center of our lives. And when we struggle to do so, it helps to remember that Jesus may have ridden into Jerusalem as a king, but he would be crucified there a week later, making him a king that is willing to sacrifice everything for us.
