In Matthew 21, Jesus enters Jerusalem not as the conquering military king Israel demanded, but as a humble, sacrificial Savior riding on a donkey. Pastor Hunter Jones argues that when we place our own expectations on Jesus — expecting Him to fix our circumstances, crush our enemies, or validate our comfort — we set ourselves up for the same tragic disappointment that turned Palm Sunday's 'Hosanna' into Friday's 'Crucify Him.' True discipleship means embracing the King Jesus actually is: one who wins through humility, leads us through sorrow to joy, and offers salvation through His sacrifice rather than our own striving.
