On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem in the manner of a Roman Triumph, setting up expectations about what He was going to do. But disappointment follows unmet expectations. Jesus did not come to make us better or help us get through; Jesus came to deal with sin's root issue and save us from ourselves.  Speaker: Brad Bell
