Life in biblical times was not easy. The Jewish people were longing for a Messiah—someone who would overthrow their Roman oppressors and restore the kingdom of Israel. On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey. Crowds welcomed Him like a king, laying down their cloaks and waving palm branches while shouting, “Save us!” Yet others stood by asking, “Who is this?”
