# Palm Sunday I remember when I was little I always looked forward to Palm Sunday because it was the day that I got to swing a branch around and smack my friends. The Jewish people on the other hand saw Jesus’ approach to Jerusalem with far more anticipation than 7-year-old me. For the Jewish people, this was the promise they had waited with anticipation for a thousand years. It was a promise of peace and freedom. But the King that arrived looked very different than they expected. At times in our lives, we can also fall into this trap of wanting God to show up in a specific way or even feeling betrayed when he does not show up in the way that we want. In the same way that the Jewish people looked forward to the Messiah, we look forward to Christ’s return as the true King. So as we read these verses we know that while Christ first came in humility next time he will come in glory and power to bring all promises to completion.
