When I was a child, I climbed up on a billboard to see our soldiers heading for the firs line of fire. We waved flags and cheered. It was thrilling. I was proud that I could say, I was there; I saw them. I wonder what the people of Bethphage and Bethany thought as Jesus processed toward Jerusalem. It seems that their enthusiasm would quickly turn to disdain when he was captured, tried and put to death. Hero worship does not seem to enjoy a long shelf life.
Today when the excitement of the parade is over and the waving of the palms ceases, we should spend some time reflecting on the character of our heroes and specially those fallen in the war.
