From Adulation to Crucifixion


As Palm Sunday approaches, we think about the adulation that was heaped upon JESUS as HE triumphantly entered Jerusalem.

No one but HE HIMSELF could have imagined on that day of adulation, when palm fronds were placed at HIS feet, that less than one week later the same crowd would be shouting to Pontias Pilate, "Crucify HIM!"

May we who believe be resolute in our own hearts and minds that we won't be among the "fickle faithful" who followed HIM for "the loaves and fishes."

May we who believe be determined to proclaim HIM with our strength and to exalt HIM with our dying breath.

 
 
Jesus did not die on a cross, the word cross was added on the bible, the original Greek word was stake so his hands were both up.If you do your research on roman executions, you can confirm that they use to nail people to stakes.
