SABRINA
Today is the beginning of what the church knows as Holy Week. The week that
led Jesus to the Cross. Yesterday we celebrated Palm Sunday, acknowledging
Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.
When looking back at yesterday, I have no problem in seeing myself with the
crowds, waving a palm branch.
But what about when the celebration was over? Would I have been one of those
same people who sang praises on Palm Sunday and deserted Jesus during his
arrest and trial?
They were good people and their respect for Jesus was genuine. All of them were
faithful to a point, but they lacked the faith to stand up for what they believed
in. What would you have done?
Of course, we will never know how we would have spent the rest of that week,
but what about today? Each new day affords us an opportunity to stand up for
what and who we believe in. Take that gift, that opportunity into the world
today, secure in the love of Jesus and what He did for you on this week over 2000
years ago.
