We celebrate Palm Sunday, as Jesus enters Jerusalem. The crowd responds to Jesus' authenticity and humility. Perhaps they can see through the pageantry of empire in a Roman parade; in contrast, the goodness of Jesus' leadership shines through, mobilizing the crowds to take action by throwing cloaks in the street and waving palm branches in the air. We are invited to shout "Hosanna" as wave branches, too. Jesus invites us to put his principles into action through physical embodiment--the good news compels us to move our beliefs into action. Also, our Westwood Kids will share a dance during worship for Palm Sunday.
