palm sunday
It was Palm Sunday and Jesus was coming into Jerusalem. He was riding on a blazing white stallion and kicking up a cloud of dust as he rode along. He was looking for trouble. The people that he passed on his way were in awe of such a beautiful animal but they were even more awestruck by the man who was riding it. As Jesus passed by, you could hear the people say, "Who was that masked man?" There were bad guys on the loose and Jesus had a job to do. As he rode into Jerusalem he quickly sized up the situation and formed a plan to capture the ring leader of the trouble makers, his name was Diablo or Satan. There was a short scuffle and Jesus won handily over Diablo. He hog-tied the devil and threw him in jail. As a large crowd of people gathered to see what the commotion was all about, Jesus mounted his horse and pulled on the reigns.

Instead of talking about the death of Jesus, I could simply pause here at the Palm Sunday procession and talk about how important Christian praise is, maybe even sing some praise choruses. Ps 27:12 Jesus was to be silent when accused . Too many people today seem to be looking for a risk-free, cost-free, painless, bloodless faith. He himself had been stabbed twice as he ministered to the people of the community surrounding the church. He goes to her and tells her what he's done and how sorry he is and how bad he feels about it and he promises never to do it again if she will just forgive him. Would it not take some action on the wife's part - reaching out, taking his hand, and taking him into her arms? And yet how costly that would be! She would have to give up something of herself, wouldn't she? She would have to give up her anger and resentment at having been betrayed by someone she loved.
