Not Quite Getting It (Mark 11:1-11)
Manage episode 416990848 series 1059960
So, when Jesus arrived on the scene, Palestine was desperate for another messiah, a hero, someone to rally the oppressed locals to finally kick the Roman interlopers out of Palestine. They needed, in short, a messiah acquainted with the business end of a sword.
