Holy Week Begins

Today is Palm Sunday and so begins Holy Week also called Passion Week, the most significant time in the Christian calendar. At church we were given palm branches to remind us of those that were strewn in Jesus' path as He triumphantly rode into Jerusalem on a colt a week before His death. Only a few days afterward, Jesus, the perfect and unblemished Lamb of God, the sacrifice who took on our sins, was nailed to that cross. When He came as a newborn there was celebratory joy; in dying there was fright and unknown. But three days later, just as He said, the glorious resurrection. It is finished. Hallelujah!
