Lent
How do you respond to Jesus?
| Palm Sunday |
It’s Palm Sunday and Jesus enters into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. He comes to bring His Kingdom of Peace and Justice. How will you respond to His entry? Do you back away in fear? Join the hype of the crowd but then fade away as His popularity wanes? Do you offer your resources for Him to use? Do you follow Him obediently wherever He leads you? Readings Matthew 21:1-11
