Palm Sunday is a day of mixed emotions.  It begins with joyful cheers and ends with anticipatory grief and tears.  This Sunday confronts us with the fickleness of human nature that turns cheering crowds into jeering jurors.  In the midst of all the action is the person of Jesus who stands alone, fully committed to his calling as the Messiah, faithfully fulfilling his mission, and lovingly inviting us to see beyond our ignorance to the wisdom of God that deals with sin human sin truthfully and graciously invites us to embrace God’s salvation.  Come celebrate and contemplate how we can be faithful followers of Jesus our Messiah.
