Palm Sunday - Re-Defining Success

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”

To Kill a Mockingbird
Harper Lee

His Grace Bishop Kyrillos shared a wonderful overview of the Great Feast of Palm Sunday, and the audio is attached. Our Savior entered Jerusalem, knowing He would suffer and die. He offered Himself as a sacrifice for us. As He entered Jerusalem, among so much fanfare and so much praise, but that was not a sign of success. He re-defined success by entering Jerusalem and invites us to follow Him. I was reminded of the quote above in thinking about our Savior’s victory over death.
