Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
They want a savior, someone who will come in and save them from Rome. They are looking for a military Messiah who will come and give Israel the power they have always wanted. They are looking for salvation. They are going to get salvation, but not in the way they want. Jesus comes to Jerusalem not to conquer, but to die. He comes not to rid the world of Rome, but to rid the world of sin. The people expected something else out of Jesus, but he gives them what they truly need: salvation from sin. Too often we try to make Jesus into what we want rather than what we need. We want certain things, but we need salvation. Take this special time of year to remeber the good news that our needs have been met. Through Jesus our most important need has been taken care of: our need of salvation. God bless you.
