In our society, we have become entitled in our thinking that everything should be our way. This has even overflowed into our approach to the Bible and the truth about who God is.It has become popular to take the truth of the gospel (Christ’s life, sacrifice, death and resurrection) and formulate it to be about how it can best serve me and about what we can have our way.
The danger becomes then, that scripture isn’t so much about how it points me to Christ but about how it can best suit my thinking.And so we begin to move away from the true intention of Scripture (pointing us to Christ) and begin to adapt it to what we want it to say or what we think it should say.
This is the same problem that those individuals faced on the first Palm Sunday when Jesus entered into Jerusalem.
