Holy Week: Palm Sunday and Our Expectations
The Sunday before Easter kicks off what is referred to as Holy Week in the Christian calendar. During this time, the church focuses on the final journey of Christ, leading up to his death and resurrection three days later. Yet, as everything began and he entered Jerusalem, knowing this would be the place of His crucifixion, He was greeted by the people who had heard all He had done. The stories and rumors of this man had spread across the land. Jesus was coming to be the King that would grant the freedom to the people. He was the coming Savior. And so, the people gathered to celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ.
