Palm
Sunday begins the culminating week of Jesus’ story of salvation. In Mark 11:1-11 Jesus enters Jerusalem as a very different
kind of king. Instead of a seasoned warhorse, Jesus rides on a colt “on which
no one has ever sat.” (v.2) Instead of armed soldiers flanking Jesus, we see a
rag-tag collection of followers who have taken up life with Jesus. Instead of
the spoils of war trailing this king, the people put down the very clothes from
their backs. Jesus is coming as king, but his kingdom is one where the first
are last, where the least are greatest, where those who lead are those who serve,
and you lose your life to find it. This is God’s story of salvation that begins
this week.
If you missed yesterday’s message you can listen to it here or watch the entire worship service on our YouTube channel.
