The journey begins on Palm Sunday when we rehearse Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem to deal with suffering, sin and death once and for all. He enters as a king… but a king like any other. He doesn’t ride the warhorse of the powerful Roman army. He humbly mounts a donkey, which ancient kings rode in peace time. He comes with power and authority, but uses all his kingly might in a way the world has never seen before or since. He lays down his life for his people.
