Commentary on John 12:13
The crowds take palm branches, symbols of Jewish nationalism and military victory. Their cry 'Hosanna' (save now) blends Psalm 118:25-26, a messianic psalm. 'Blessed is the King of Israel' explicitly identifies Jesus as Messiah, but their understanding is political, not spiritual. The palm branches suggest they expect military deliverance from Rome. This demonstrates how right confession can rest on wrong foundation. They acknowledge Jesus as King but misunderstand His kingdom. Their fickle loyalty will soon shift to 'Crucify Him.'
