Palm Sunday was actually the site of two major parades in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago. One was led by Jesus, the other by Pilate, each coming into town on separate sides and with separate agendas (Jn 12:12-15).
Jesus’ Humility (Jn 1:45-46; Mk 1:21-29; Matt 11:19; Mk 1:14-15; Matt 5:38-45) vs Pilate’s Arrogance
Jesus’s Servant Leadership (Lk 22:25-26; Jn 13:12-14) vs Pilate’s Power Leadership
Jesus Submission to the Father (John 8:16;Lk 22:42) vs Pilate’s Submission to Caesar
Conclusion: Two different kings…two different kingdoms… One built on money and materialism while the other built on faith and the Spirit. Palm
