What is Palm Sunday?

The donkey, the palm branches, the crowd shouting ‘Hosanna!’ We’ve heard this story since Sunday school. But here’s what we often miss: Jesus didn’t ride into Jerusalem to be crowned. He rode in to die.

And Palm Sunday asks every one of us a hard question: Do we actually want Jesus or do we just want what Jesus can do for us? Because that’s the difference between the crowd and a disciple.

Understanding Palm Sunday isn’t just about knowing a Bible story, it’s about understanding who Jesus really is and what He came to do.
