Jesus Has Arrived
Pastor Matt Bell
John 12:12-50
As Jesus makes his entry into Jerusalem, the crowds go wild. They shout in triumphant victory, proclaiming that Jesus is the King of Israel. However, when they realize that Jesus hasn't come to set them from from Rome, their shouts of praise turn to shouts of condemnation. Soon the same crowd will be shouting "Crucify him!"
Jesus never lived to please the crowds. He lived every day to the glory of God the Father. We too should follow the example of Jesus, living our lives not for our own reputation or name, but for the glory of God alone.
