Preparing for Change

Here we are again!!  On the road to Jerusalem and the anguish of the final week of the life of Jesus as we know it.  (Yes, I know it is also the 3rd week that we are under the "stay-at-home" directive from the governor!!)   We have traveled this road before and know the difficulty.  We have experienced the pain and suffering and know of the ultimate betrayal by Judas.  But imagine. if you will, of looking at Holy Week as the start of a revolution?!

 

In 1968 John Lennon of the Beatles' wrote a song entitled "There's Gonna Be A Revolution".  The song talked about the changes needed in society during the 1960's with the Vietnam war and the civil rights movement.  John Lennon's idea for this song came about long before he arrived on this earth!!  I believe the ride into the city by Jesus had this same impetus -- things have got to change......there's gotta be a revolution.

 

Well, let's see if we can look at Palm Sunday and Holy Week from a different perspective.  Yes, there's going to be a crucifixion, but there's also going to be a revolution!  Join us on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. on our YouTube channel.
