It is Palm Sunday. Jesus makes his way into Jerusalem on a small donkey, crowds lining the road, laying garments before him and waving palm branches. It’s the beginning of holy week, the high point of the Christian year. This is the week when the gospel comes into crisp focus; when we see who Jesus is, see how he confronts the powers, see how they respond, and see what God does in and through Jesus for us. It truly is a holy week, and for millennia the church has gathered together to anticipate, mourn and finally celebrate during this beautiful season.
