Jesus came, bled, died, and rose again to establish an unshakeable kingdom unlike any other.
Palm Sunday was a mob scene. People all over the place waiting for their chance to see and to celebrate King Jesus. The cry of the crowd was “Hosanna, Save us, Lord.” Their hope was that their king had come. He could drive out the Romans. He could end the tyranny. Freedom would once again come. Could Jesus be the king they had been waiting for? The reality is they had the right king just the wrong kingdom. As Jesus will soon tell Pilate, His kingdom is not of this world. As we will learn in Hebrews, the kingdom of Jesus is much bigger than any one piece of land or any one nation. The kingdom Jesus was building would comprise people of all walks of life. People from every nation and tribe. And this kingdom will be unshakeable. Not even the gates of hell will be able to overcome it. Palm Sunday is a day we celebrate our coming king. Little did they know on that first Palm Sunday the greatness of the kingdom He was establishing before their very eyes.
