John 12:12-34

Summary

Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey for his triumphal entry, reflecting the humility he would exemplify as he went to the cross. The people of Jesus' time were surprised as they were expecting a conquering King who would bring power and destroy the Romans. Jesus is distinguishing himself from other rulers as he lived a life of radical self-sacrifice, a lifestyle he calls his followers to as well. Jesus was glorified as he gave himself up for the world at the cross. Jesus' mission wasn't to establish the perfect order, but to offer forgiveness for those who want a personal relationship with God.
