The Day After....

Peter:  Did you see how the people shouted yesterday!
Matthew:  They were lined up all the along the path throwing palm branches.
Peter:  The people are coming around.  They hailed him as their king.
James:  Hosanna! Hosanna! HOSANNA!
Matthew:  Over and over they proclaimed king.
Andrew:  Master?  You haven't said anything....

And Jesus said nothing.  He just sat there thinking to himself. 

Is that all I have been for these people?  A king?  I who came to serve, now a King?  
Father, forgive them.  They know not what they do.  

The day after that entry into Jerusalem must have been something. Jesus must have had second thoughts about it all.   The one who came to be God's servant was proclaimed a King.  Jesus would remember those words, forgive them.    He would say them again.
