Philippians 2:8: “He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even death on a Cross.”

Palm Sunday is a commemoration of Jesus’ unwillingness to be thrown off track by the “hosannas” of the crowds that would make him king, choosing instead a radical solidarity with humanity in our lowest, most painful experiences.

Philippians 2:5-11: Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God,  did not regard equality with God  as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death-- even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
