How Palm Sunday Exemplifies the Evil of Escapism

Escapism has less to do with particular eschatological than it does with heart condition and a lack of allegiance to God. There are many who say that all who believe in a pre-tribulational rapture, or a rapture at all, are escapists; this simply isn’t true. An escapist is someone who is attempting to escape hardships on this earth and they generally do this by leaving their responsibility before God undone. They are like the crowd on Palm Sunday who wanted a liberator from the consequences of their sin. Ultimately, the escapist’s true allegiance is to their comfort and not to Christ.
