The Arrival of the King

Andy Cooley teaches on the arrival of the King of the Kingdom of God. As Jesus arrived in Jerusalem to sacrifice his life on the cross, he was received with adoration and rejoicing, yet a few days later, those who welcomed him became those who reviled him. They had projected their desires on him and he didn't deliver what they expected, so they turned on him. There is a temptation for us to do the same - to look to Jesus to do what we want, rather than recognizing and following him as the King of the Kingdom of God. Jesus' invitation is to fall in behind him as our leader - to follow him, and to love him, and to love his ways.
