Palm Sunday


Rejoice greatly, o daughter of Zion!
Shout, o daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation,
Lowly and riding on a donkey.
(Zecharaiah 9:9)



With all the craziness of the last week, I totally forgot about Palm Sunday until I walked into church and someone handed me a lovely green palm leaf.

When the Messiah rode into Jerusalem, they expected a great warrior who would liberate their country. Instead, he came to die on a tree, at the exact hour that the passover lamb was slaughtered, when they blew the big Shofar, to call people to remember what God had done for them. Hmmm...this guy whom I call savior still mystifies me.
