Exposing the Religious Spirit: When Jesus entered Jerusalem on what we now call Palm Sunday, the religious leaders began to attack him for their own purposes. Jesus was the lamb of God who was subjected to their examination, as unfair as it was. When Jesus had passed the test, which was clearly evident when none of the leaders dared to question him any longer, Jesus began to expose them as religious charlatans who controlled the people through man-made rules and regulations. The message is clear; manmade traditions mean nothing compared to the Word of God. This is a lesson we must never forget.
