Palm Sunday is a powerful reminder of how quickly popular opinion can change. Jesus entered Jerusalem with the people crying, "Hosanna" as they waved palm leaves.
Popular with the people who were in awe of his miracles and teachings, the religious leaders were equally unhappy. Jesus upset the proverbial apple cart. His ways were different. His teachings seemed upside-down, but somehow they rang true. Truer than true. They had the power to change everything. And... they did.
He did. He changed everything.
Holy Week is a time to pause, ponder, pray, and praise.
"Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’" -Mark 11:9
Today, I am grateful for reminders of what can change in seven days.
