674// Jesus Isn’t Running for Office: Why Politics Can’t Save Us: Mark 11:1-11

674// Jesus Isn’t Running for Office: Why Politics Can’t Save Us: Mark 11:1-11 In this episode, we explore the significance behind Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, a moment celebrated by the crowds yet misunderstood at its core. Journey with us through Mark 11:1–11 as we unpack the cultural, prophetic, and spiritual meaning of this moment. Why did Jesus ride a colt? What did the people expect from Him? And how do we respond when God’s plans don’t align with our expectations? What is the connection to our modern political climate? We reflect on how this story challenges our modern ideas of success, power, and humility, drawing lessons for our personal faith journeys today. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • The symbolic meaning behind Jesus riding a colt and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. • The tension between the crowd’s expectations and Jesus’ mission to bring peace rather than political victory. • How Jesus’ silent inspection of the temple reveals His intentionality and discernment. • The relevance of this story for our personal journeys—how we respond when God’s plans differ from our desires. • Why spiritual greatness looks more like humility and service than power and position. Scripture Reference: • Mark 11:1–11 Key Takeaways: • God’s Kingdom is different—it’s built on humility, peace, and service. • Our expectations vs. God’s plan: Sometimes we need to surrender our agendas to align with God’s will. • Moments of reflection matter: Just as Jesus paused to inspect the temple, we need to pause and discern before taking action. • Discipleship involves humility: Jesus came not to conquer politically, but to save spiritually. ☆ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON ☆ : patreon.com/HearingJesus If you would like to give to Hearing Jesus and financially support the podcast, you can do so here ! ➤ Give Here _____________________________________________ Connect further with us !
