As Jesus made his way into Jerusalem, he drew quite a crowd. It was a mixed crowd of followers who shouted, "Hosanna, blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!" and others who were asking, "Who is this?" The world hasn't changed so much some 2000 years later. Faithful followers of Jesus will gather all around the world this Sunday to remember the triumphant entry that begins our journey through Holy Week. Still others wonder who is this Jesus and why is this week so important.
This is one of two times each year when people's hearts and minds are open to meet this Jesus whom we love. Are we ready to tell them? Do you have an answer if someone asks you about Jesus? How do we tell the old, old story of Jesus and of love yet make it relevant to our time in history? These are great questions to think about as we move towards Easter.
I missed being with you last week and look forward to bringing the message this Palm Sunday. It's a great time to invite someone to come and here the good news of Jesus. Remember, the chance of them saying yes is greater too. So take courage and extend an invitation and the Holy Spirit will take it from there.
