Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! ~Mark 11:9
Today we begin that crazy, up and down week known as Holy Week. A week of Jesus riding into Jerusalem as a king and leaving Jerusalem carrying his own cross. A week where death and life have new meaning because of the one riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. One could say that a donkey is hardly a mode of transportation for a king especially since they can be stubborn and they are small. One might expect a horse or even the "Cadillac of the desert" known as a camel. This final ride into Jerusalem was hardly a royal event, despite the peoples homage of laying down palms and blankets. What these people laid down does not compare to what the rider of that donkey will lay down.
Tune in to hear the rest of the story!
