From Sunday's message:

In the Palm Sunday crowd there were many different people. They looked like each other, but they had many different attitudes, beliefs, traditions, problems, and many different motives for being there. Josephus, the church historian, estimated that there were over 2 million people.

Many different people from different parts of the country were converging on the streets of Jerusalem for the Passover.

I picture that to look like New York's New Year's Eve at Times Square or maybe even like Mardi Gras.

So what did all these people expect was going to happen that day?

En Agape',

Rev. Michael Weeks
