The general public quite naturally responded to the news of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead by hailing Jesus as the promised Messiah. They took to the streets chanting and singing Jesus’ praises (John 12:12-13). “Hosanna blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! The King of Israel!”
It would not be long until some of those same people would be chanting, “Crucify him, Crucify him” (John 19:14-15). Those who sang his praises then turned against him just a few short days later had based their praise on what was popular at any given time.
Only those who are truly born again by the Spirit of God worship regardless of the political climate.
