When the crowds streamed out of Jerusalem to welcome Jesus as King, they sensed that this was a significant moment. However, just a few days later, their faulty expectations of a political Messiah led them to reject Him and call for His crucifixion. Jesus had entered the city as the conquering King but the enemy He faced was far more significant than Rome. The cross, resurrection and ascension was the reason Jesus was born. This confirmed Him as the victorious Messiah, the decisive moment that defined all others in humanity history. It was the moment of the ages.
