Palm Sunday reflection

We celebrate Palm Sunday as a day of rejoicing in the midst of our season of Lent. We proclaim Jesus as our humble King with shouts of “Hosanna!” Yet Jesus knew what was in store for him in the coming week: confrontation, betrayal, rejection, abandonment, death. May we hold in faith these paradoxes of our own lives—our joys and sorrows, our praise and our grief—as we walk with Jesus this week toward the cross. -Michael Pahl, Executive Minister
