Today we celebrate Palm Sunday. It is a day that we
look at the final week of Jesus ministry before He goes up to Calvary. In our celebration of Palm Sunday, the same crowds that had sung “Hosannas” would
shout, “Crucify Him” on Good Friday.
Jesus
knew that the end of his earthly ministry was near. It was time to do what he
had come to do. He was ready to be obedient to God the Father, and to accomplish
the purpose set out for Him.
Now,
as we start Holy Week, it is time to decide once again to love
God with all our hearts, and our neighbors as ourselves. We are given a chance
to look at our lives and our relationship with God and become disciples of Jesus.
As we
move to the most holy time of our Christian faith, take time to discern where
Jesus is in our lives. If we are too far from Jesus, move a step closer to Him
and make Him the center of our life.
Holy
Week has begun – the most wonderful 7 days of the liturgical year, beginning
with Palm Sunday (Passion Sunday) and ending with Easter Sunday (the Lord’s
Resurrection).
Have
a wonderful Holy Week!
