Episode Synopsis

Holy Week begins in two days, and Easter, the biggest Christian holiday, is around the corner. How are you preparing?Over the centuries one of the main ways the Church has prepared for Easter is by remembering Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. When you think of Palm Sunday what do you imagine? Maybe a swelling crowd cheering Jesus on? Maybe the waving of palm branches? Maybe Jesus riding on a donkey?How about a Trojan Horse?There is something very surprising that happens on Palm Sunday. We come expecting a celebration and we leave with a different experience. And it is in that experience that we can best prepare for Easter.Take a few minutes to read the story of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry in Luke 19:28-44. Meditate and pray through it. As you do, what are you surprised by? How does that surprise help you prepare for Easter?I look forward to worshiping with you this Palm Sunday!Pastor Adam
