“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is He who comes
in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of
our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
(Mark 11:8b)
How many hats do you wear? We all wear different “hats” in our lives. These are the different roles that we have or that people perceive we have in the midst of our daily lives.
There are a variety of hats that we wear, throughout our lives. Sometimes we have the role of a spouse, a mother or a father, a grandparent, or a provider. The list would be long for each of us if we were to take some time to make it.
For Jesus, He also had many hats that He wore. Some saw Him as the coming king, the messiah who would save the world, while others saw Him as the rebel who was disrupting the status quo.
This week, as we continue our study in Mark we see these different roles of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark. So, in preparation for this Sunday, let me invite you to read Mark chapter 11 and get ready for Jesus’ week in Jerusalem.
