Celebration from the Wilderness: Palm Sunday
April 10, 2022 • Philippians 2:5–11, Luke 19:28–40
Today is Palm Sunday - a day of transitions! First, we celebrate with the crowds and proclaim, "Hosanna, Hosanna in the Highest" as welcome Jesus as our Savior. We leave our wilderness with hope, anticipation and encouragement. But as time goes on, we begin to doubt and question and listen to the rumors of others and our faith in Jesus being in our lives is shaken. In the midst of all that, Jesus remains committed to us through death and life today and always.
