About this episode
This episode discusses Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and the reversal of expectations regarding his kingship and mission.
John 12:12-19 Palm Sunday puts us on the front end of Holy Week. As Jesus makes his way into Jerusalem he does so as the King of Kings. But John makes clear that Jesus arrives with remarkable reversal. The crowd rightly sees Jesus as king. But their expectation of what he will accomplish is wrong. Thus, John shows us that Jesus is the expectation reversing king we need. He is the hero we need who will deliver us according to what we need—salvation from sin and death.
