From Rejoicing to Rejecting

By Kay Heitsch

People change all the time. ~ People Change Quotes ~

Today is Palm Sunday. On Palm Sunday, the crowds rejoiced and sang Jesus' praises. But it wasn't long before these same people were rejecting Him.

We all go through this experience in life. We have people we love and care about, and believe they feel the same about us. But we find out they changed, and we face rejection. Jesus understands.

Our Bible verse says. The crowds ahead of Him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest heaven!" Matthew 21:9 NIV

This verse is interesting. It talks about the crowds and those who followed. We all know the story. The crowds not only turned against Jesus, but so did His followers. These were the people who were supposed to love Him. One day they were rejoicing, and the next they rejected Him.

People change all the time.
