One of the Crowd

Yes, I remember that day. Jesus came into Jerusalem just like the prophets said that one of our kings would. Something about a foal of a donkey. We really celebrated that day, let me tell you. Everybody was so happy, because we all thought that we would finally rid of those Romans. He was going to lead us in battle and defeat those gentiles and chase them out of our country!

Now, when nothing happened, the folks turned against the man. I know that it was less than a week, but He had done nothing. Even got Himself arrested! He was standing there and not offering any resistance nor calling anybody to free Him. That's what turned most of the folks that I know against Him. If He was going to be our king, He could at least chase those blasted Romans out! I did think that it was too bad that the Priests and the Romans conspired to kill Him. He was a good man and didn't deserve what He got. He was just misguided.
