We often yearn for the acceptance of the crowd. We want others to notice us as significant. Many of us want our moment of fame. Jesus didn't operate in that fashion. He knew that those who cried "Praise God!" (literally, "Hosanna!") and welcomed him as their king later in his ministry could then cry out "Crucify him!" after just another week. So Jesus did his ministry based on God's timing and his own heart of obedience. He submitted to the Father and honored him at great personal cost. Why? Because he wasn't trying to win the crowd's approval. Instead, he was willing to pay any price so the fickle masses could find a real Savior and not another power-hungry tinhorn pseudo-messiah.
