Palm Sunday

Weekly Greeting: Sunday 17 April

Dear Friends

There is an ancient familiarity with Palm Sunday that is a good thing. The cry "Blessed in He who comes in the name of the Lord." A phrase from Psalm 118 and itself has been shouted out for hundreds of years before Christ. So we gather in an ancient tradition, today, to proclaim Jesus as the one who saves.

Dear Friends

Every Palm Sunday my own thoughts go back a number of years to when our Israel tour group stood at the top of the Mount of Olives. We spent a long time gazing out at the view of Jerusalem. In one mind's eye, one could speculate on the route that Jesus could have taken as he travelled to Jerusalem. I remember that it was humbling to realise that we could have been very close to the actual place where Jesus and the Disciples were, on that very first Palm Sunday!

Dear Friends

On that first "Palm Sunday", Jesus as he so often did, did something totally unexpected. He came riding into the city on a humble donkey. Let's think about that donkey for a moment.

It may only have been a donkey, but for those who had eyes to see, Jesus was claiming to be a king! A very different king of course. A king of peace. A king of love and truth. A king of the heart and soul. A king of resurrection life. A shepherd king. Not a king of war or political power.

It was only a donkey, just an ordinary means of transport in those days, but somebody gave it. I am constantly amazed at how God's people give, of their time, gifts, money and themselves. When God changes our hearts he opens them and we begin to have a new view of our possessions. These things are no longer "ours", they are God's and we need to pass them on to help others in need. To reach out with his love, to build his church and his Kingdom.
