As we continue our The Colors of Lent series this week, when we come to Palm Sunday and Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, it just so happens the color for this week's theme is red. Ironically, this falls just a couple of weeks after the stars hit the red carpet for the Oscars. It all has me thinking about how Jesus might enter the city and what the scene might look like today. Would Jesus jump out of a limo and come down a red carpet? Would he stop and engage with the media? Would he be the guy everyone wanted to talk to? I do believe with the right agent Jesus could have made quite a splash today. But that is not the way it is. What we get in the story of Palm Sunday today is Jesus riding a donkey and being honored by people who have no power but something much stronger… They have HOPE.

Join us Sunday for the Colors of Lent where we take a walk down the Palm Sunday red carpet.
