April 5, 2020 | Palm Sunday - Triumphant Entry | Rev. Gary Gibson


Listen Later

On this last Sunday of Lent we go back to the entry into Jerusalem before the Stations of the Cross began. This Sunday we are called to reflect on the Stations of the Cross as we celebrate the triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the palm branches wave and the shouts of hosanna. We are reminded of the steps of the journey that Jesus will walk in the coming week. Palm Sunday is a moment of a call to communal faith and courageous proclamation of our faith as we share together as a community of faith. The people who lined the streets were common folk who experienced a message so powerful, that people followed Jesus and celebrated that he was the one that they have been waiting for. We celebrate this moment, but know that soon the religious leaders will consider him an antagonist and the nemesis to their survival. We have spent Lenten walking the Stations of the Cross in preparation for the week ahead and while we spend this Sunday waving palm branches and celebrating we are to be reminded of the journey that is ahead of Jesus and each of us.
