Read Luke 19:28-40 with your family.

When people are excited everyone can feel it. That was what it was like when Jesus entered Jerusalem.

For years old people had been telling young people about the promise of a saviour, of a person who would come and free them from the Romans, and make Jerusalem and all the lands ruled by the Hebrews again. They were all waiting.

And they all believed Jesus was that saviour.

The thing is, Jesus was coming to make a different world for them, just not to get rid of the Romans like they hoped. Jesus came to teach them how to live God’s way. That is exciting for all of us.
