Drawing Closer: An Everyday Guide for Lent

DAY 35 OF 40

Day 35 - Holy Week: Jesus the Humble King

There was a lot of expectation on Jesus.

From a Jewish mindset, their hope was that He was the Messiah, the one who would rescue them, the one who would break all the oppression and put the Israelites on top again.

Yet from the very beginning, Jesus was different. And even as the people welcomed Him to Jerusalem as a King, He did not arrive in the way a King would, nor would He be the conquering ruler they wanted Him to be.

Jesus came in humility, riding a donkey, preparing for the ultimate sacrifice. Many abandoned Him after the cross because He didn’t live up to what they expected.

What are your expectations of Jesus and how He works in your life? Are there areas that you are disappointed or withholding from Him because He hasn’t done what you wanted Him to do? Spend some time surrendering these to Jesus and inviting Him to be Lord over those situations.
