Palm Sunday - A Tale of Expectations
We all face moments when we expect God to move a certain way—and He doesn’t. In John 11, Mary and Martha expected Jesus to heal Lazarus, but Jesus had a bigger plan: to reveal God’s glory. That same pattern plays out on Palm Sunday. The crowd welcomed Jesus shouting “Hosanna,” expecting a conquering king. Days later, they cried “Crucify Him” because He didn’t meet their expectations. Today, we’re reminded: God’s plan is bigger than our expectations. Are we willing to trust Him—even when He moves differently than we hoped?
