One of the church's special celebrations is Palm Sunday. The question is why?
On this day everybody gets Jesus wrong – the Jewish leaders, the crowd, even the disciples. In the Gospel of John they call Jesus "the King of Israel." But isn't that a very limited and localized title for one who is to be Savior of the world? The question is, do we also get Jesus wrong in our daily lives? The greater question is what does Jesus do with people who get him wrong?
