#17 Hosanna to Crucify??

AND WE’RE BACK!

I've been on Zoom every Thursday night answering great Bible questions. It dawned on me that I was basically doing a live version of podcast episodes! So I just hit record, added a drink of choice and metal moment and here we are again!!

THE FICKLE CROWD AS JESUS ENTERS JERUSALEM

In episode 17, I answer a question related to Easter week: How can the crowd who hails Jesus as the coming king as he enters Jerusalem in Mark 11, cry out for his crucifixion before Pilate just two days later?

The crowd is often described in books and sermons as extremely fickle. Their enthusiasm is short lived. 

The author of Mark explains it in a different way. I'll show you from the Bible in this episode.
