The crowds roared their approval as Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem. Yet a mere 5 days later they were calling for his blood. Popularity is such a fickle thing.
Can you imagine being there? Would you be one of the disciples who were overjoyed t be in the presence of Jesus? Or would you be one of the hangers-on who had heard all the marvelous tales about the miracles wrought at his hands?
At church this week you can be in the presence of Jesus as he moves around Jerusalem. May the experience of being in his presence fill you with joy.
