today's devotional. Hey, thanks for hanging out with us on the Daily Drive. Hope you're having a great day.

Hi, my name is Bro, and we spent a few minutes here diving into God's Word just trying to get

to know him better. And to do that, we've been walking through the fourth book in the New Testament

called John. It's a book all about Jesus. And as I have said many times on this podcast, Jesus came

not only to lay down his life for our sins. Don't get me wrong, that's a huge deal. But he also came to

show us what God is really like. And as we look at the life of Jesus, our perspective of God

begins to come into sharper focus. Well, we left off yesterday in John chapter 12 with Jesus riding

into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. He rides in to the applause of a frenzied crowd

anticipating a political Messiah. Our conquering hero is here to wipe out our Roman oppressors.

They'd heard so much about this man, Jesus. All the miracles he was doing, I mean, blinded

eyes were open and paralyzed people were walking around. He was feeding multitudes with a sack lunch, and lepers were cured, and water was turned into wine, and to top

it all off. He had just raised this guy named Lazarus from the dead. Yep, dead man came out of a

tomb, and many people saw it. And John writes how all of them now were spreading the words, so tons of people who

would come to Jerusalem for the biggest and most important festival of the year called

Passover, they begin to line the streets cheering his arrival.

They're a bit misguided in their chance of Hosanna, which means save us, save us,

from the oppression of Rome.
