With March Madness this weekend, many people are cheering for their favorite team. As that team takes the court, there is so much hope in the initial rounds. Will they go all the way? Will they upset the higher seed? The bottom seeds might have a win or two. But there was no one as lowly as Jesus. He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. So humble. He came to endure the cross. So shameful. The crowds cheered him on. And he would win the greatest upset victory in history. Satan sent away. Death defeated. Our sin overturned. So today we join the people of Jerusalem to sing, “Hosanna to our King!” Our sermon comes from Mark 11.
