It's Palm Sunday and Jesus arrives in Jerusalem. The people are ready to inaugurate Him as Israel's conquering King, one who will overthrow Rome's oppressive rule, liberating them from their godless occupier. But, as Pastor Shaq Hager prophetically communicates, Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, sees the city, and weeps. He knows that the thing the people believe will bring them peace — political power, state violence, and religious dominance — won't actually set them free. Pilate is the one who enters the city on a warhorse, accompanied by the Roman military, declaring His presence while inspiring fear. Jesus enters on a donkey, a symbol of peace, accompanied by a crowd of worshippers shouting "Hosanna!" Palm Sunday is a protest against the powers that be, a declaration that they don't get the last word. Power, violence, and dominance are not the tools of the Kingdom. Peace, grace, mercy, righteousness, justice, forgiveness, and self-giving love are.
