MESSAGE FROM CHERYL
Between Parades
by Ann Weems, from Kneeling in Jerusalem
We are good at Planning!
Give us a task force and a project
and we're off and running!
No trouble at all!
Going to the village and finding the colt,
even negotiating with the owners
is right down our alley.
And how we love a parade!
In a frenzy of celebration,
we gladly focus on Jesus and generously
throw down our coats and palms in His path.
And we can shout praise loudly enough to
make a Pharisee complain!
It's all so good, the parade!
It's between parades that we don't do so well
We don't do so well from Sunday to Sunday.
For we forget our hosannas between
parades.
The stones will have to shout because
we won't.
The same people on Palm Sunday lining the street for another parade on Good Friday. So much happened between those 2 parades. People caught up in a frenzy. Following the crowd. Where are we? We must not skip from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. We must, we have to remember the days in between. The great suffering of our Savior on our behalf. Re-read the scriptures that speak of this: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospel. The Good News/ But good news only for us. Good Friday only for us. For the Holy Son of God...well, read it for yourself. We cannot, we must not forget.
