Palm Sunday Quote of the Week

April 16, 2011 By Jean Wise

PALM SUNDAY QUOTE OF THE WEEK


But everyone who lined the streets had a different reason for waving those palms.
Some were political activists; they’d heard Jesus had supernatural power, and they wanted him to use it to free Israel from Roman rule.
Others had loved ones who were sick or dying. They waved branches, hoping for physical healing.
Some were onlookers merely looking for something to do, while others were genuine followers who wished Jesus would establish himself as an earthly king.
Jesus was the only one in the parade who knew why he was going to Jerusalem – to die.
He had a mission, while everyone else had an agenda.
Bill Hybels

    I thought this was an intriguing quote. Makes me ponder the difference between mission and agenda and the why we so often focus only on the agenda.

    What an excellent point Mr. Hybels makes… Something to pray on as I go through the day.

    Thank you Jean!

    Have a Blessed Weekend!
