Scripture: John 12:12-16,23-28
In our busy and often troubled lives, it may seem like a frivolous luxury to stop and celebrate anything, but each year we celebrate the Holy Week because of what it signifies. In this week, Jesus demonstrated the revolutionary nature of his ministry, that it is not about power and conquest, but about humility and peace. He rode into Jerusalem not as an all-conquering king on a warhorse, but as a humble servant on a donkey. Furthermore, throughout the week, he never wavered in his love for us, even while facing pain, humiliation, and eventually death. In doing so, Jesus displayed his love for us and showed us that no matter our troubles, the love of God is greater.
