—John 12:14-19
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
During His short time on earth, Jesus touched the lives of many, attracting throngs of people. He spoke of God and love rather than violence, revolt, and insurrection. His words spoke with deepest meaning to a culture that was hungry for a savior. His miracles and other acts were shocking and amazing. When Jesus succeeded in raising Lazarus from the dead, the multitudes were inspired to create a grand procession to honor Him. It was the last straw for the Pharisees who realized what an impact His ministry was having. His control of their world meant a loss of their control. With the tide turning toward the Son of God, His enemies had finally had enough.
