The Crucified King | John 12:1-26

About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and the contrasting expectations of kingship leading to his crucifixion.

Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday aligned with many of the symbols of kingship the people were looking for. And yet, despite these signs the week would end with this would-be king hanging to die on a Roman cross. Were the people wrong, or, had that been right all along?
