From Palms to Passion - Pastor Johnnie Simpson Jr.


As we journey from Palm Sunday to Easter, we're invited to reflect on the profound shift from triumph to tragedy in Jesus' final days. The story of Christ's entry into Jerusalem reminds us that life often brings sudden changes - from celebration to sorrow. Yet, this narrative isn't just about Jesus; it's about us too. We're called to prepare our hearts, to be obedient to God's instructions, and to boldly proclaim our faith. The disciples' willingness to fetch the colt, trusting Jesus' words, challenges us to step out in faith, even when God's commands seem unusual. As we wave our metaphorical palms, let's remember that true worship isn't about waiting for the perfect moment, but about initiating praise ourselves. In a world that often rejects change, we're encouraged to stand firm in our beliefs, even when faced with opposition. This Palm Sunday, let's not be silent in our faith, for as Jesus said, if we keep quiet, even the stones will cry out.
