Last time, we considered Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem for Passion Week, where Jesus presented Himself “officially” to the nation as their long-awaited Messiah. We learn this morning that among the group escorting Him into Jerusalem was a group of Gentiles and they were hoping for a private audience with Jesus. Jesus' message to them and anyone listening in the crowd was amazing for two main reasons! (1) Jesus' death would be highly beneficial and highly productive in providing salvation for anyone who would believe, and (2) The principle taught (death before life) can be life-changing if someone really values and understands the implications of His teaching. In the Christian life, death must precede life - death must precede divine production. (See 2 Corinthians 4:7-12)
