3/24/2024 Palm Sunday

HOLY WEEK

Every year, the sixth Sunday of Lent celebrates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.  Better known as "Palm Sunday," Jesus' fateful entry into the capital city happens four days before his institution of Holy Communion, five days before his crucifixion, and seven days before his resurrection.  Together, the week beginning on Palm Sunday and lasting through Easter is referred to as "Holy Week." 

PALM SUNDAY: RETHINKING REAL STRENGTH

Most religions believe in a powerful God. It is assumed that God will use that strength for the benefit of his followers. That is a reasonable assumption, but it begs the question. What is real strength? It is easy to assume that real strength means exerting your will over another by using any means necessary, including force. But this week we see Jesus Christ demonstrate a different kind of strength.

We have come to Holy Week. It begins with Jesus humbly riding a donkey colt straight into the hands of his enemies. As the week progresses, it will appear that Christ’s adversaries are the ones in a position of power and Jesus is in a position of weakness. Yet what Christ does this holy week—setting his divine strength aside, being passive in the face of death—would change the world. To do what Christ did for us and our salvation took real strength.

Hosanna in the highest!  God bless your worship.
