Hervey Bay Anglican Parish Weekly News 29 March, 2015 Mission Statement—Through Christ: change lives, transform communities Vision Statement—Inspired lives and inclusive communities rejoicing in and through Christ. PA L M S U N D AY — H A I L I N G T H E K I N G This was the week that Jesus would be crucified, and the great Passover festival was about to begin. Jews came to Jerusalem from all over the Roman world during this weeklong celebration to remember the great exodus from slavery in Egypt to the freedom of being God’s chosen people. For the first time Jesus did not refuse the honour shown to Him. It was necessary for him to ride into Jerusalem to fulfil the Scripture (Zech. 9:9). The pilgrims were extravagant in their praise, waving palm branches and sacrificing their clothing to smooth the way before Him. If only they knew who was among them! If only they would recognise their King of peace. But they didn't, and they wouldn't. So even as the shouts of praise and adulation were ringing in Jesus' ears, he wept over Jerusalem. He weeps for people today who do not, or will not, recognise Him for who He is — Saviour, Lord and coming King. Jesus accomplished two purposes: (1) He declared Himself to be Israel's King and Messiah; and (2) He deliberately challenged the religious leaders. This set in motion the official plot that led to his arrest, trial, and crucifixion. The Jewish leaders had decided not to arrest him during the feast, but God had determined otherwise. The Lamb of God must die at Passover. Like those who witnessed Jesus' victory parade into Jerusalem, we have expectations for what we think God should do to make life better, safer, and more enjoyable. Like the people on the road to Jerusalem that day, we have much to learn about Jesus' death and resurrection. Holy Week for us is the celebration and commemoration of these events. We must not let our personal desires catch us up in the celebration and shouting lest we miss the meaning of true discipleship. The palm cross symbol you receive today is a reminder that we cannot understand Christ until we understand his Cross. Use it as a book mark or place it where it will remind you of this important fact.
