Today begins Holy Week: a central time in the Christian calendar. Today we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus of Nazareth into Jerusalem. The culmination of his ministry was to follow shortly. In less than a week he will be punished as a criminal, crucified, and buried. But all that is yet to come. Today we join in with the crowds and welcome our long expected messiah:
Hosanna to the Son of David;I love this time. A time when the impossible becomes possible; a time when our hopes peak and are violently crushed, and finally our hopes come to fruition in the beautiful promise of glorious life eternal.
BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;
Hosanna in the highest!
This week we travel the road of hope, suffering, death, and of life reborn. We walk the journey of life in this one week.
Blessings on your journey my friends.
