“… Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

Matthew 21:9

Today is Palm Sunday. It’s not Easter yet, but it won’t be long now, just a few short days, and what joy we will feel when we get there! But we have a big problem. To get from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, we must go through the week of Christ’s Passion. In our journey from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, we must experience Good Friday. We, too, must see what our Lord is willing to do for us. We will see Him whipped and put to death. Today we see Him riding in as our King. In a few days He will be on a cross. But then, next Sunday, we will see Him triumph over death and the devil. During these next days, live for Jesus, experience His Passion for you, and know that He cares for you as one of His dear children.

Lord, we thank You for all that You have done for us. Amen.

Reflect: Be open to ways to share your hope in Christ.
