JESUS- The Greater Liberator than Moses (Palm Sunday 2021)

Right before Passover, Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey and then declares he is going to die on a cross. The people were then very resistant to that statement, because they wanted Jesus to liberate them from Rome, not be crucified by Rome. Jesus then pronounces a hardening of heart over the Jewish people that was very similar to something that happened when Moses went in to declare liberation of God's people to Pharaoh. Pharaoh resisted and hardened his heart, so God in turn set his heart in stone. Like the liberation of Moses- It was through the death of the firstborn son, and the blood of the Passover lamb- that the people would ultimately be liberated.
