Palm Sunday Crowd

A Reporter
Here is a celebration, and in the middle is one man, Jesus, an itinerate preacher.  It's quite a crowd, all seem to be happy about what is happening.  Let's see if we can find out why people are here.

One formally blind
Hosanna!!
Me?  Why am I here?  This man, this Jesus, healed me.  I was born blind, He touched me, and now I can see.  For me, that's reason enough to be here and celebrate that God gave us this Man.

Different
I'm here because I'm different from most other people, yet Jesus accepted me - as I am!!  Not many will do that, you know.  So I celebrate His life.

A Woman
Me?  I'm the woman who was thought to be "unclean" because I had trouble with bleeding for years.  The Doctors could do nothing for me, but Jesus healed me.  I might be dead by now if it wasn't for Him.  So I celebrate.

A Priest
Look at them!  Celebrating a nobody, an itinerate preacher.  Acting as if he was going to be some kind of king!!  If they are not careful, they'll bring the Romans down on us!  It's disgraceful anyway, cheering that one like this.  Got to do something about that one!

A Zealot
Me?  Oh, I'm here because we finally have ourselves a king!  And He'll destroy those *** Romans.  And it's about time, too.  We'll finally be able to rule ourselves!  What?  Oh, He’ll take care of the Romans all right.  What kind of king would He be if He didn’t?  He’s got to do what the people want, you know.
