Daily Walk Through the New Testament May 1 Read Matthew 20:20-21:11 Jerusalem welcomed Jesus as King on Palm Sunday, and then rejected Him on Good Friday. Why? Because they sought one who would bring them deliverance from the oppressive yoke of Rome. They saw Him as the miracle worker who could deliver them. When it became apparent that Jesus was not as interested in bringing military deliverance as He was eternal salvation, the people rejected Him. Today, so many have made Jesus into a personal ATM that gives them everything they want. Will you allow Him to be King of your life, even if it means sacrifice and submission to His purpose, knowing that He may not remove your temporal oppression?
