This reflection on Palm Sunday invites us to embrace a profound paradox: becoming less certain about how God works, while becoming more sure of who He is. Through the lens of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey rather than a war horse, we are challenged to examine our own expectations of how God should show up in our lives. The crowds expected a warrior-messiah who would overthrow Rome, just as the Maccabees had defeated the Greeks a century earlier. Instead, they got a humble king on a donkey, fulfilling ancient prophecy in ways they never anticipated.
