When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, he could have had it all. Political power, public approval, honor, wealth, the best that life has to offer would have been his if he had used the moment to overthrow Roman rule. Instead, Jesus talks about how he will surrender it all. His glory will come through the shame of crucifixion. True life will come through his death.
