Palm Sunday is a beautiful reminder that the presence of Jesus changes everything.
On that day, Jesus entered the scene riding on a donkey, and everyone who saw Him
had to respond.

• The owner of the donkey surrendered what he had for Jesus to use.
• The followers of Jesus laid down their cloaks and palm branches, honoring Him as He passed.
• Many chose to lay down their pride, lifting their voices in worship and declaring the arrival of the King.

But there was another group: the Pharisees. Instead of embracing what the presence of Jesus required, they tried to silence those who were worshiping. In doing so, they missed the opportunity to fully experience Jesus as the King of Peace.
This reminds us of a powerful truth:
The presence of Jesus will always demand a response from us.
And how we respond is shaped by how we see Him.

• If you see Jesus as King, you will surrender to Him as King.
• If you see Jesus as Lord, you will respond to Him as Lord.

As we enter Holy week, I trust that we would be encouraged to reflect on what the presence of Jesus is asking of us. I hope we will choose surrender, so we can truly experience the peace that only He brings. We warmly invite you to join us this Palm Sunday as we worship together and celebrate the King of Peace.
