At St. Mark, we are on an alternative timeframe for our Lenten journey from ‘Ashes to Easter’.
Today we celebrated Palm Sunday. This was Jesus’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the back of a colt (donkey).
Pastor Beth talked of Luke’s Gospel, 19:28-40, not naming the two disciples who were sent to find a colt in an otherwise very detailed telling of the story. Why not name the disciples?
Luke confirms that all creation cries out in praise of God.
We are entering into that chain of events that is central to our Faith.
Allow Christ to use us. Love Jesus more deeply. Don’t be afraid.
Wave our palm branches a little harder.
Take that step forward knowing that God is always at work here.
