The very people that gave Jesus a big welcome to Jerusalem were the very people some short time later were shouting, crucify him, crucify him. It’s so easy to see their contradictions. We do the same in our time, some thousands of years later, We as Christians can verbally pray to Jesus on a Sunday and yet on a Monday be unwelcoming or unkind to others. Jesus suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane. He knew what was ahead, he knew that Peter would deny him, his disciples would run away, he knew how he would be abandoned and be on his own.
