This is the day we remember Jesus’ strange parade into the city of Jerusalem as “Palm Sunday”.
Make no mistake–the powers-that-be in that city sat up and took notice at the actions of Jesus and his motley crew of palm-waving followers on that morning. It was a show of the “power” of love and injustice for the “least of these,” in stark juxtaposition to the military might of the Roman rulers. It was a non-violent action featuring a man sitting on a donkey — an action that has offered hope throughout the ages. Will we sit up and take notice of the injustice of this world and work to eradicate it in ways that honor that first Palm Sunday parade?
This is also the beginning of Holy Week. See this page for more info: https://www.christouranchorpc.org/2024lent/
