Isaiah 50:4–7; Philippians 2:6–11; Matthew 26:14—27:66
As I reflect on the Palm Sunday readings. Which are very reverent, glorious and a painful journey toward the resurrection.
It begins with Jesus humbly riding a donkey through Bethany. A crowd chanting glorious praises for their excellent King.
But we soon find out reading the other scripture of the day. It turns from a jubilant event singing “Hosanna” to elevated shouts of “Crucify Him”. The people eventually despising, spitting, condemning and turning their backs on Jesus.
Jesus was aware that his ultimate end would come soon. He knew he would carry a heavy burden to his death. He did it with humility and supreme love for us. So we would be saved.
He voluntarily sacrificed to atone for humanity’s sins. Giving us healing and grace from bondage of sin.
Offering redemption, forgiveness, and freedom from sin’s power.

How can I support others not just when it is easy, but also through the hard times, loss or suffering? How can I be a good steward of care and love when others need me the most?
