Palm Sunday

Today is Palm Sunday, when Christians celebrate the beginning of Christ's passion with his entry into Jerusalem.

The King had returned. He was entering his capital to fanfare and cheering crowds, with people laying their cloaks before his mount to give him a regal carpet. Yet what kind of King was this? No noble stallion, like a conqueror, nor a high camel like a Bedouin sheik, but a donkey's colt. This was an entirely different King from any who came before: this was a humble King, a suffering King. His triumph would culminate in His death.

In the week that would follow, the world would be turned on its head and the gates of Hell would be broken. Satan's greatest victory would also be his greatest defeat. The great eucatastrophe was about to happen.
