Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem as Messiah, the Saviour!
However, the people saw a saviour that would rise up and remove the Romans from the land, return might and power to Israel and lead them into a new era of peace.
This was not the Messiah that rode in on a donkey.
Jesus had come to ensure peace indeed, but peace with God for each individual.
He did this by giving himself up to death on a cross, as a sacrifice for you and me and all others.
He is a Messiah indeed, not with force, but with a gift of life indeed for all who would accept this.
