Topic: The Way Of Jesus

The triumph of the cross of Calvary is in some ways a failure. The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is not what Jesus, or God wanted. The glorification by the masses is not what we would want. The objective or goal of reaching all the hearts of all the people on the earth 2000 years ago was not reached. When Christ died on the Cross the enemy had won. The result of Jesus's triumphal journey into Jerusalem was His death. When Jesus rode into Jerusalem with the crowds glorifying Him and wanting Him to take over Israel as a worldly leader, time was running out. Opportunities were few in getting the masses to understand. Tensions were high. Confusion and misunderstanding about Jesus reigned. There were uncertainties. There were anxieties. Days of testing were just beginning. Christ's followers were bewildered. They, along with others, had hope upon hope that somehow Jesus would reign as a worldly king. However, Christ's way is not the way of the world. Christ's way was to surrender Himself to be crucified at the hands of those who praised Him and wanted Him to take over the world.
