Peace in a World of Evil –

This Sunday is Palm Sunday! It is the start of Holy Week and the day we remember Jesus rode a donkey into the city of Jerusalem as people spread palm leaves and coats on the pathway. Why a donkey and why on that day? Jesus chose to ride a donkey in fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9, but also because it communicated that He was coming to offer his kingdom to the people of Israel in a peaceful way. But the fact that Jesus did it on this particular day is also significant. That day was one week before the Day of Passover and was the day Jewish families would select the lamb they would sacrifice on the Day of Passover. Jesus came to offer PEACE in a World of Evil. As events would unfold during Holy Week the nation would reject Jesus and his kingdom offer, culminating in His crucifixion. What is amazing about this event is through his death and resurrection the ultimate PEACE was accomplished as Jesus satisfied the wrath of God by taking our sins on himself, making it possible for mankind to have relationship with a Holy God. Join us for Palm Sunday as we find PEACE in a World of Evil. Text – Matthew 21:1-11.
