PALM SUNDAY
Jesus entered Jerusalem in triumph and left in disgrace. He entered carried by a donkey colt, hailed by the crowds with branches and hosannas. He left walking, even stumbling under the weight of the Cross, to the place of execution outside the city walls, jeered there by the bystanders. Lent is a season of contradictions, a season of successes and failures, culminating in the great paradox of the Cross, where all apparent failure yields to the ultimate triumph of life over death.
During his public ministry, Jesus spoke to the weary, the hopeless, the sick, and the grieving, a word that roused them to new purpose, the purpose of the gospel. Jesus continues to do so today, as we gather to hear the word proclaimed. But the prophet does not hide the cost. Jesus did indeed appear to be disgraced and shamed in the eyes of his short-sighted enemies, but opposition did not keep him from his appointed mission, as it mustnot keep us, his disciples.
