Palm Sunday procession with the congregation.
Palm Sunday
When
they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the
Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into
the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will
find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring
it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this, ‘The
Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’”
They
went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As
they were untying it, some of the bystanders said to them, ”What are you
doing, untying the colt?” They told them what Jesus had said; and they
allowed them to take it. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw
their cloaks on it’ and he sat on it,. Many people spread their cloaks
on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the
fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting,
“Hosanna!
“Hosanna!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
Then
he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple;
and when he had looked
around at everything,
as it was already late, he went out to Bethany
with the twelve.
Mark 11:1-11
This Lent, how have you welcomed Jesus into your home,
your family, and your life?
He comes where He is welcomed.
