One of the craziest things Jesus said was the beatitudes. It shows that the world works with one set of rules, but Jesus tells us that we are to live our lives in a different way. The way we live won’t be popular and won’t make us successful according to this world, but Jesus gives us a twist in this story. God’s kingdom is upside down. Those who are on the bottom here on Earth end up on top in the Kingdom of God.

Is Jesus Lord?
The triumphal entry marks the start of the last week of Jesus’ life. To the disciples, it must have felt like things were finally looking up. People were finally recognizing Jesus as lord. Jesus knew though, that this wasn’t a triumphal entry. Instead, it was more like a funeral march. These same people who were shouting “Hosanna! Hosanna!” Would soon be shouting, “Crucify him!” It’s easy to judge the crowd, but they display something common to all of humanity, even to us today. We can call him lord in one breath and crucify him the next. How does this happen to us and how can we avoid it?
