“Destructive criticism, they call constructive feedback."

It’s not because you’re failing.
It’s because you’re not meeting their expectations.

🎯 The applause turns to analysis.
🎯 The praise turns to pressure.
🎯 The crowd that once lifted you up now weighs you down.

And that’s exactly what happened to Jesus.

What do you do when Jesus shows up differently than expected?

Palm Sunday isn’t just about the cheering—it’s about the conflict between our personal expectations and God’s eternal plan.

Jesus doesn’t always show up how we imagined—but He always shows up exactly how we need.

If a king rode into the city on a horse, He came to conquer; if he rode in on a donkey, he was coming in peace.

Jesus didn’t come to meet their expectations—He came to
fulfill their greatest need.

"I'm coming, but I'm not coming as you expect."

It tells us that worship without surrender is just empty words.
