Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday. When Jesus rides into Jerusalem, victorious and welcome by the people there. So why, by the end of the week, were people asking for him to be crucified? Well, it wasn't the regular people, for they had been meeting him all week and listening to him at the Temple and most of them had no idea that he was arrested and brought to Pilate. The religious leaders who had been against Jesus all along were the shouting the loudest and asking for his crucifixion. Jesus was a victim of politics. This brings me to a thought for us modern people, because human nature is not much different since Jesus' time and there will always be people whose desire for power will allow them to rationalize just about anything.
