Passion: Palm Sunday

Part of the challenge of Holy Week is that when we hear the tune of Jesus going up to Jerusalem and on to his death, and when we listen to the Old Testament which helps us make sense of it, we don't use this as a way of escaping from the realities of our world, but rather as the framework within which we can look at our world in a new way... to hear that story – the story of the pain of the world, our world – going on within the music of Jesus' story and the Old Testament story, like the tenor part between the treble and the bass.
– N.T. Wright, Christians at the Cross

May we learn to sing our song along with Jesus instead of settling for the tune of the world.
