Life has a way of numbing us to wonder. The weight of our to-do lists, the responsibilities that we carry, and the uncertainties around us can crowd our vision. They can suck all the emotional and spiritual wind out of us. Leaving us without anything to be in awe of. Palm Sunday is an invitation. A chance to clear our vision. To set aside the mundane and the urgente. It’s a chance to fix our eyes on Jesus and marvel once again at the wonder of the cross.
Don’t miss this chance. Don’t let the celebrations, family obligations, and religion distract from the simple beauty that we are called to behold. This day is a monument of the most important sacrifice made in the history of the world. Our God turned man gave himself over to the pain of being tortured and then gave himself over to death with one goal in mind; that we might be saved.
Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.” Hebrews 13:15
