Palm Sunday 2010

Palm Sunday comes in March this year.

The green of new life comes in March.

Just as God came as a new life

To a world in need of love.

In churches children carry palm fronds

In memory of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. 

Palm leaves and cloaks were spread on the ground for him.

Hallelujahs filled the air.

In one week, Christ would 

Be arrested,

Condemned

By both Roman and Pharisee,

Crucified,

His body placed in a tomb,

And

Resurrected.

Did he know what was to come?

I think he did.

And still he came to Jerusalem.
