The next day the great crowd that had come to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord— the King of Israel!” Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it; as it is written: “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!” His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written of him and had been done to him. So the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify. It was also because they heard that he had performed this sign that the crowd went to meet him. The Pharisees then said to one another, “You see, you can do nothing. Look, the world has gone after him!” (John 12:12-19, NRSV)
As the disciples watched this scene of Jesus riding a donkey and people waving palm branches and shouting Hosanna, they didn’t get it. Until they saw Him glorified. The world nor religion can keep God from doing what He is going to do. Nothing will keep the mission of God from happening. Not leaders, nor our not understanding. God will work in and through all things to have His will done.
Are you ready to serve Him even when you don’t understand it?
