Jesus himself had mixed feelings during the clamorous parade. Luke reports that as he approached the city he began to weep. He knew how easily a mob could turn. Voices who shout “Hosanna!” one week can shriek “Crucify him!” the next.
From: The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey 📚
As we step into holy week this quote has been on my mind. Particularly, “how easily a mob could turn.”
Would I have turned?
Would I have shouted “Hosanna!” and then shrieked, “Crucify!”?
