In year 33 as Jesus rode through the gates of Jerusalem on the back of a mule, he was not doing so as a happy camper, nor did he plan on sprucing up Passover by giving the people of Israel a snazzy new Messiah. Nope! Jesus was tired, dirty and ticked off. He had just been through a rough year of being chased out of villages, accused of heresies and practicing evil magic, and being told he was upending the “delicate social order of Israel” — he had been through the works.
But he came to Jerusalem because, despite all this, he knew God’s love is for everyone, and for too long the powers that were rooted in the holy city had used their position to rob people of that love.
