About this listen
Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, looks at the celebration of Palm Sunday and sports spectatorship as two things that poignantly reveal the famous slogan, “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” He delves into the psychology of sports fans and the things that draw fans to sporting events, pointing out that it is the uncertainty and thrill of the unknown that plays a big part. After analyzing the psychology and biology that creates the feelings of the thrill of victory and agony of defeat, he turns his attention to the crowds watching Jesus ‘triumphal return to Jerusalem. He points out how the crowds were sensing the thrill of victory as Jesus arrived and how his opponents were preparing for his defeat. Before the week ends his followers would experience the agony of defeat in many ways. Dr. Hall concludes pointing out that the apostles’ joy came when they met the resurrected Savior that that will be true for all of us.
