What We Still Cannot See

John 12:12-19

Palm Sunday

March 29, 2026

Rev. Teer Hardy

Jesus is the only one entering Jerusalem who knows what is going on. He knows the kind of king they want. He knows where the parade leads. He knows the voices shouting “Hosanna!” will not make it to Friday. And he rides anyway, not on a warhorse like the governor entering on the opposite side of the city, but on a symbol of peace. Not to assume a throne but to take up a cross. Not to meet the crowd’s expectations but to undo them.

Jesus does not wait for us to see clearly before becoming our king, which is good news because if He did, we would still be waiting on the side of the road arguing about the kind of king we prefer.
