Palm Sunday: What Do You See?
Luke 19:29-40
As Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey, the crowds saw their long-awaited king bringing peace and salvation, while the Pharisees saw only a threat to be silenced. Almost 2000 years later, the question posed by Palm Sunday is as relevant as ever: When you look at Jesus, what do you see?

Day 1: As Smart as a Rock
Reading: Luke 19:28-40
Devotional: When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, different groups saw Jesus differently. The crowds saw their liberator. The Pharisees saw a threat. Which is why they demanded that Jesus silence the crowds. The reality is that we all carry lenses shaped by our experiences, values, and desires. These lenses can distort our view of who Jesus truly is. The danger isn't just in getting Jesus wrong—it's in making Him fit our image rather than conforming ourselves to His. Today, ask the Holy Spirit to remove your filters. Don't settle for a Jesus who simply validates your opinions or political views. Seek the real Jesus—the one who challenges, transforms, and loves beyond measure. The rocks know who He is. Do you?

Day 2: The King Unlike Any Other
Reading: Zechariah 9:9-10; Philippians 2:5-11
Devotional: Jesus chose a donkey, not a warhorse. This wasn't poor planning—it was a statement. Kings on horses came to conquer; kings on donkeys came to bring peace. On Palm Sunday, the crowds expected a military messiah who would overthrow Rome. But, Jesus came to overthrow something far more oppressive: sin and death, not through violence but through the greatest act of love the world has ever known—laying down His life for our sins. In our culture power, success, and dominance are often celebrated. But Jesus is a king unlike any other. And His kingdom operates by different rules. His life and kingdom model humility, sacrifice, and servant leadership. Instead of chasing after power the world worships, today discover the joy and freedom that come from counting others more highly than yourself.

Day 3: Creation Remembers What We Forget
Reading: Psalm 19:1-6; Romans 1:18-20
Devotional: "If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." Jesus wasn't speaking metaphorically—He was revealing a profound truth. Creation knows its Creator. When Jesus calmed the storm, the wind and waves recognized His voice—the same voice that spoke them into existence. The rocks, trees, and sky know their Maker. Yet we, made in His image, often fail to recognize Him standing right before us. The Pharisees knew the facts about Jesus. They watched His miracles, heard His teaching, followed His movements. Yet they missed Him completely. Knowing without recognition is spiritual blindness. Look around today at the created world. Let it remind you of truths you may have forgotten. The sunrise proclaims His faithfulness. The mountains declare His majesty. Will you be less aware than the stones?

Day 4: Facts Aren't Enough
Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, 17-20
Devotional: Paul didn't just present facts about Jesus—he proclaimed good news. Jesus lived, died, was buried, and rose again. These are historical facts, verified by hundreds of witnesses. But facts alone don't save us. Knowing that Jesus lived and died and rose from the dead isn't enough. The question is: What does this mean for you? Paul answers clearly: "Christ died for our sins." The resurrection means death doesn't have the final word. Sin doesn't have a permanent claim on your life. Guilt and shame can be lifted. Your future isn't limited by your past. This isn't just interesting information—it's an invitation to transformation. Don't settle for studying Jesus from a distance like a historical figure. He wants a relationship. He wants surrender. He wants your whole life, so He can give you His.

Day 5: When Jesus Looks at You
Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10; Romans 5:6-8
Devotional: The crowds saw Jesus through their expectations. The Pharisees saw Him through their prejudices. But what does Jesus see when He looks at you?He doesn't see you as defined by your worst moments. He doesn't see a failure or a lost cause. He sees the one He has always loved—the one He gave His life for while you were still a sinner. You may see yourself through the lens of shame, regret, or inadequacy. Others may have labeled you by your mistakes. But Jesus sees you as someone worth dying for. This is the good news your heart needs: You are loved not because of what you've done, but because of who He is. His love isn't earned—it's given. Today, receive that love. Let it change how you see yourself, how you live, and how you love.
