Sunday Reflection: Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday. I've had some very memorable Palm Sundays; there is something about it that seems to engage my soul.
For one thing, it's baffling. I mean... what a scene! Jesus is entering the city of Jerusalem and two key things happen. First, he arrives riding a donkey. Second, people law down palms in his path. On their face, neither of those things make sense. The second seems to be part of a story of glory, while the first seems to be an act of humility. The juxtaposition of the two is striking and confusing.
Or is it?
Victory and humility almost always go together, if we examine them closely. Few truly successful people lack humility.
If you ever got to meet one of your heroes, you probably know that already.
