5 Days

Has your outlook ever changed drastically in a short period of time?

I want to contrast two scriptures for you today.

The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:
“Hosanna!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
The King of Israel!” John 12:12-19 New King James Version

And,
 

So they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”
Then Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?”
But they cried out all the more, “Crucify Him!” Mark 15:13-14 New King James Version

Same crowd, five days later.
 
What made the difference?
 
You see, the word “hosanna” means “save now.” The crowd wanted to be rescued more than they wanted the Rescuer.
 
When they finally comprehended the Rescuer came to save them spiritually, not politically, they wanted nothing more to do with Him. In fact, they couldn’t even stand to have Him around, so they wanted to get rid of Him.

My question to you today … if God doesn’t give you what you want, will you want to shut Him out of your life?
 
Is there something that could happen that would change your mind about Christ in just five days?

Something to ponder ...
