This Sunday is Palm Sunday. We remember Jesus’ dramatic entry into Jerusalem. His ministry had reached a fever pitch. In His teachings Jesus had confounded the leaders and angered them greatly. Jesus had taught a new way, a loving and kind way of dealing and living with others. Jesus had taught that there is only one way to God (Heaven). Yes he had taken those things that people had held on to the tightest and turned everything upside down. Now it was the time for the Passover, what would be his next move? The crowds saw Him coming and went crazy. Waving palm branches before Him. Shouting “Hosanna” which means “save now”. This gives an insight to what the people wanted, an earthly King who would show the Romans who was boss. Then Jesus rode into Jerusalem. Not on a charging stallion but on a donkey. The donkey was not without meaning. Kings had rode on donkeys before when entering a town, but when this was done it meant coming in peace. So while the world called for show of power, Christ came in peace. He gives peace today, peace within our souls that nothing and no one can change or take away.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15
