As we have worked our way through the Gospel of John we have seen two groups emerging: those who hope Jesus as the Messiah and those who grow to hate Him and seek to kill Him. There are those who want to exalt Him and there are those who want to execute Him.

During the ministry of Jesus we have seen Him pull away from both of these groups. When the crowds were ready to make Him king, He hid; and when the crowds sought to arrest Him, He escaped. But now, as the time of His death is approaching Jesus presents Himself to both of these groups in a very public way. He enters Jerusalem and presents Himself as the one who will be exalted and as the one who is to be executed.
