Palm Sunday the people had it right, perhaps for the very first time. Jesus was indeed the “Son of David”, the Messiah. They were right to cry out to him for salvation, but in the fervor of the moment they lost the point. The salvation they needed was not external to them, the changing of rulers, a hope in some person alone, but a change in themselves. The salvation Christ offered was more profound than the salvation of politicians. It was the total transformation of the world beginning with the total transformation of the person. The revolution was to begin within.
