Between The Donkey And The Cross

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of a significant moment in the Gospel story. Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, not in power or status, but in humility. While this moment is often briefly mentioned, what happens in the days that follow carries deep meaning.

Between the donkey and the cross, we see how Jesus lives, what He prioritises, and what He reveals about God’s heart. These moments are not filler, they show us the kind of kingdom He brings and the kind of life He invites us into.

As we reflect on this part of the Gospel, we begin to see that following Jesus is not about striving or performance, but about surrender. It’s about allowing His way to reshape how we see ourselves, our lives, and our relationship with God.

This Sunday, we’ll take time to slow down and consider what Jesus is doing in those in-between moments and why it matters for us today.
