Following Jesus Triumphantly
It is Palm Sunday and Jesus is about to enter the very heart of Judaism as he enters into Jerusalem and the Holy Temple. Jesus intends no fanfare with this. He comes in humbly on the back of a donkey. Yet, the people recognize him, cheer him on, celebrate his arrival. There is no great sermon, no special miracle, just his simple presence and his willingness to sacrifice for others and serve God. Even though he intends to come in humbly, his is recognized and celebrated for who he is. Jesus’ entry is Triumphant in its own right with loud shouts of Hosanna for the King – God’s appointed Messiah! It leads one to wonder what would happen if we were to take our service and the service of others into account and treat them with as much respect, honor, and celebration. Come join us as we Follow Jesus Triumphantly into the very heart of our own faith and into our hearts!
