easter reflection

Today is what we call in the Christian Calendar - Palm Sunday. Jesus arrives riding on a never to be used donkey and crowd have their palm branches shouting out Hosanna, Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. The sounds of praise were soon to be ones that would be shouting out Crucify him, crucify him. But this didnt defeat Jesus as he was to rise again on the final day.
While we do have this special day set aside, we should remember these things month by month by month. I will over this next week be looking at the seven sayings of the cross. It is so easy to get lukewarm about the Christian message. But at the centre of Christian message is the the event that we remember at the Easter time. In Churches we will often remember it when we take communion.
