  Heart Over Hype: John 12:12-19: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study In this episode, Rachael Groll explores the meaning of Palm Sunday and Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. She reflects on her personal story of bringing a donkey to church as a memorable way to connect with the excitement and expectations surrounding Jesus’ arrival. Rachael explains the cultural context of Passover, the significance of the donkey as a symbol of peace and kingship, and the crowd’s reaction, which reflects human expectations of political deliverance. She highlights the contrast between the crowd’s understanding and Jesus’ true mission, encouraging listeners to commit fully to following Him, even when it goes against popular opinion. The episode closes with a prayer and prompts reflection on deepening one’s relationship with Jesus. ☆Pick up a copy of my latest book:  Knowing God’s Voice  ☆Go Deeper and Learn to Hear God’s Voice: Knowing Jesus Course ☆Get Ad-Free Episodes, Bonus Content, and more here: ⁠ patreon.com/HearingJesus⁠ ☆To Learn More About Sponsoring a Child, check out Compassion International here:  ➤  Sponsor a Child ☆Go on a trip with Rachael: Bible Study Live ☆Have a question for Rachael?

The triumphal entry of Jesus is a significant event. Cultural context during Passover adds depth to the story. The donkey symbolizes peace and humility in Jesus' entry. Expectations of the Messiah were political, not spiritual. The crowd's reaction was based on miracles, not understanding. The Pharisees felt threatened by Jesus' popularity. God's plan often differs from human expectations. Palm branches symbolize victory and God's deliverance. Commitment to Jesus is essential, even when it's unpopular.

Obedience to God can feel risky but is essential. Mary's act of anointing Jesus was a profound sacrifice. Public worship can invite criticism, especially for women. Mary's devotion was motivated by her relationship with Jesus. Judas's criticism stemmed from greed, not concern for the poor. Extravagant acts of worship may seem foolish to others. God sees and values our heart's intentions. The opinion of God should outweigh societal expectations. There is always an invitation for spiritual growth.  Chapters 00:00 A Season of Financial Struggle and Faith 02:29 Mary's Anointing of Jesus: A Deep Dive 12:33 The Significance of Mary's Sacrifice 16:25 The Call to Bold Devotion 20:15 Closing Reflections and Prayer Bible, Bible Study, Devotions, Devotional, Daily Devotional, Prayer, Jesus, God, Holy Spirit, Spiritual Growth, hearing God’s voice, Hearing God, Hearing Jesus, Praying, Pray, God’s Word, Scriptures Hearing Jesus, Knowing God's Voice, Female Prophets, Bible Study, Spiritual Growth, Christian Podcast, Faith Journey, Obedience, God's Communication, Personal Reflections, prophecy, faith, surrender, spiritual gifts, women's ministry, Christian podcast Learn more about your ad choices.
