Expectations

Palm Sunday challenges us to examine our expectations of God and how they might hinder our ability to see and understand Jesus. This passage reveals how easy it is to miss the Messiah when our expectations don't align with God's plan. We're called to reflect on how we might be asking God to change our circumstances without allowing Him to change us. Are we seeking rescue without repentance? Are we looking for affirmation rather than transformation? This message urges us to approach Jesus with the simple faith of a child and the desperate need of the sick and lame, rather than the rigid expectations of the religious elite.
