A Triumphal Entry! Hosanna! And then… the hosannas fade. Jesus knew the party would not last. He rode toward His capitol astride the foal of a colt, as Scripture says, as was prophesied so long before. He rode toward His own exodus (Luke 9:51) as appointed by God Himself. The people that cheered Him knew nothing of that – the people that opposed Him called for His end. We know the story. Today’s gospel speaks some of that story: John 12:20-36. Read His words. He knew what was coming; we know the story too. Celebrate this day His triumphal entry into our hearts!
