Today is Palm Sunday. As we go into Holy Week, I hope you enjoy this song of praise.

As we enter Holy Week and the end of Lent, it is a good time to reflect on just how quickly things can change. Two thousand years ago, Jesus entered Jerusalem to the praise of those who recognized Him for who He really was. Yet, the leaders His presence threatened were able to have him arrested on false charges, and set him before a kangaroo court that broke their own laws. Even though they brought false witnesses against Him, they still could not get the verdict they wanted until He basically gave it to them, by saying outright, who He was, in terms they understood to mean exactly what they were intended to mean. Even then, they had to whip up a crowd that threatened to riot, if the emperor’s representative didn’t agree to execute someone he found to be innocent. All within the space of a few days.

Looking at what’s going on in the world today, it seems that some things really haven’t changed much.
