Palm Sunday

Today is Palm Sunday, a day that celebrates the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem, as he prepared to celebrate Passover.

As a Christian, I am drawn to the connections to the Jewish faith. As a simple matter, Jesus was a Jew... plain and simple! So our faith's are connected at this most basic level!

However, this is the beginning of one of the most Holy weeks in the Christian faith. Today celebrates the entrance of the Messiah. His last week on earth... as next Sunday, we celebrate his Resurection, his return to the Heavens!

I find a strange dichotomy, as I am to acknowledge and allow the observance of other "holy" weeks, yet when I try to observe or ask for acknowledgement of mine... I am often chastised, scorned, or looked upon in a disparaging way!

I guess that is not really mine to question, not mine to own, and therefore I will let it go!

Today, I went to Church to celebrate this day. The service was nothing short of pure worship! Song, praise, prayer! I am still humming and singing "How Great Though Art!" I hope that this hymn will be sung at my funeral!

So if you are wondering what I am talking about, go get yourself a Bible, and read the Book of John; about today, read John, Chapter 12...

Hossana!
