Sermon #50
When we get to Palm Sunday we are tempted to go straight from the celebration of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the ecstacy of the empty tomb and the promise of the resurrected Christ. But first we must go through the cross. It's easy to forget that the cross on which they nailed our Lord was meant for the murderous Barabbas. Easier still to forget that Christ took our place on the cross as well. As Max Lucado once said, it was not the nails that held Jesus to the cross, but the love of God. And so we invite you to lean in to the passion narrative as we raise our Palms of Praise.
