“Not What We Expected”
Text: John 12:12-19
Palm Sunday is a forceful reminder that Jesus does not fit into our expectations and preconceived notions. As we attempt to hear this story for the first time, we discover how Jesus did participated in some anticipated activities in order to shatter the expectations that had surrounded his life. As we consider what it means to live into the “Jesus-way,” we realize that the path forward rarely looks like we would have expected.
