Palm Sunday

  • Mood:
  • Music: so far silence but, there will be wonderful music today.
  • script: Matt. 21:1-10,Mark 11:1-10,Luke 19:29-38,John 12:12-16
  • weather: 36*F Who's gonna complain? Not I! It's just a bit chilly to me.

*On that first Palm Sunday, one might have expected Jesus the King to enter Jerusalem on a mighty steed.  But He chose instead a lowly donkey.  Before He cold come as a King to reign, He had to come as a Savior to die.  Throughout His life on earth, Jesus was a man of striking contrasts—reflecting both His genuine humanity and His full diety.

Someone has written of Jesus, “He Who is the Bread of Life began His ministry hungering.  He Who is the Water of Life ended His ministry thirsting.  Christ hungered as a man, yet fed the hungry as God.  He was weary, yet He is our rest.  He paid tribute, yet He is the King.  He prayed, yet He hears prayer.  He wept, and He dries our tear.  He was sold for 30 pieces of silver, yet He redeems sinners. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd.  He gave His life, and by dying He destroyed death.

 The lowly carpenter of Nazareth was the mighty architect of the universe.
