The King Is In The Room - Why Did Jesus Come?
We’re just touching down as Mark’s biography of Jesus moves towards the Cross. The Triumphal entry seems anticlimactic and insignificant to us, but for those in the know, those who had waited for hundreds of years, there was electricity in the air. A perpetual bone of contention in Israel has always been about finding and following the rightful king. Turns out, that’s still the main issue for our whole planet.
