We Are Flailing
Today, we consume an inordinate amount of information without time to process any of it: truth (facts) and a constant stream of misinformation and outright lies. It’s difficult to know what is important, true and meaningful. Yet, Paul believes that we can know the truth. It begins with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus did not preach an ideology, but the words of life that transcended all the cultural and political realities of his day.
What Will I Remember This Holy Week?
With steadfast intention, Jesus rode on an ordinary donkey into Jerusalem as thousands of Jews gathered to celebrate Passover. The crowds welcomed a king they believed would free them from oppression and tyranny. Yet, Jesus’ entrance amidst songs of “Hosanna!” proved a stark contrast to Pontius Pilate and the magnificent Roman army who entered Jerusalem with their earthly power and domination. They feared an uprising and were reminding the Jewish people just who was in charge. Jesus knew what he was doing. His kingdom was not of this world.
