I’ve often wondered what it would have been like to live during Jesus’s time. What would it have been like to walk with Him in the Promise Land? What would it have been like to eat with Him and the disciples after a long day of healing and teaching people, celebrate and laugh with Him at the wedding of Canna, or witness His triumphal ride into Jerusalem knowing He only has days left?
This Sunday is Palm Sunday and the Sunday where the church classically rehearses and retells the story of Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. What a sight that would have been; the crowds lining the streets, palm branches waving in the air! Shouts of “Hosanna!” “Hosanna!” “Hosanna!” …. Yet, like all Jesus stories, there is a twist.
