Happy Palm Sunday! |
Happy Palm Sunday!
We remember Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. |
We remember that today represents the day that Jesus Christ of Nazareth made his humble but triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
Jesus on the donkey is a beloved Christian icon. |
He rode upon a donkey as he made his journey in.
I wonder what led to
him sitting on that donkey.
Did he allow the throngs of people to put
him on the donkey because that is how they wanted to honor him?
Was he simply weary from a long, hot, dusty journey and in danger of collapsing? Whatever the reason, Jesus on the donkey is one of the many revered icons of Christianity. It symbols victory!

Christian icons in themselves don't possess any power and we don't idolize them. Like
the Cross, they are beloved touch-points for our great love for our
Savior and all that he stands for.
We honor Jesus' obedience. |
Today
we remember with joy that Jesus was obedient to the Father. He was
strengthened and determined as he journeyed towards that inevitable
suffering that we remember with sorrowful joy.
Jesus Christ gave his life for our salvation. |
We thank you, Dear Lord Jesus, for your obedience.
Help us to be obedient always to Our Father God.
