Palm Sunday 2024

In the story of our faith, Jesus - King of the Jews, Savior of the world, God in the flesh - enters the holy city of Jerusalem in humility. He comes riding not on a war horse, not in a king’s chariot, not carrying a sword, but in humility on the back of a beast of burden. There is no ticker-tape parade, no marching band, no “Hail to the Chief”, no “God save the king”, no flowers thrown, no dignitaries greeting him. There are only the poor crowds lining the street with their coats, crying, “Blessed is the One who comes in the Name of the Lord.” Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and our journey with Jesus through the tragedy of the cross to the hope of Easter. Join us on Sunday as we hear again the familiar story of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as its found in Mark 1:1-11.
