Palm Sunday (God’s Favor is Better Than the World’s)

The kingdom of Heaven is here, and the revolution begins on a donkey. (Technically a donkey and a colt if Matthew is to be believed). The juxtaposition of emotions that Jesus would feel in such a short amount of time is truly staggering. Yet he set the stage for way he would respond in his sermon on the Mount: He would pray for and love those people who would persecute him. Even while the masses filled the street praising him, he knew there were naysayers in the city. Yet he willingly went there in order to fully love them. The road we walk in life will be complicated and can put us at odds with the world. Jesus’s encouragement is to engage with those who do not love us, for this is the action which lead to the fullest life.
