PALM SUNDAY - Luke 22:14- 23:56
Today we begin Holy Week, the most significant week of the
Church Year. On this Palm Sunday, we
have Luke’s account of Jesus’ passion and death. This is a story we know well! Most likely, most of us could recount the
main points of this gospel passage very well.
However, familiarity is not always a good thing as familiarity may breed
contempt or perhaps indifference.
This week I invite you to quietly walk with Jesus as he
experiences the wondrous reception as he enters Jerusalem and then to his
arrest, passion, and death on a cross. Walk with Jesus. Be present to Him. Imagine the emotions, the sorrow, and the
pain He must have experienced as within a few short days, he went from enjoying
a glorious welcome as King to enduring his arrest, torture, crucifixion, and
death.
Jesus died for us.
He died to save us. This week as
we walk with Jesus, may we praise Him and thank Him for the great gift that He
has given us. May we not take this gift for
granted!
