Palm Sunday, the Sunday prior to Resurrection Sunday, is the day Jesus enters Jerusalem on the back of a colt. Upon His entry into the city the Jews, believing He was coming to liberate them from the Romans, lined the streets in celebration waving palm branches and laying them, and in some cases their cloaks, on the ground for Jesus to ride over. They were anticipating something momentous, yet what they were anticipating and what ended up happening wasn't anywhere even close. The Jews believed He would be their savior from decades, if not centuries, of living under the oppressive rule of one after another conquering nation. Rome was just the latest of many.
