Evening: Psalm 103; Zechariah 12:9-11; 13:1, 7-9; Matthew 21:12-17
The
prophet said the king would enter Jerusalem on a donkey. When Jesus
did, the people recognized him as the king who had come to help them.
Immediately, he turned out of the temple those who loved money more than
prayer. The power of God, in the humility of Jesus, confronted the
power of evil. They expected a king to fight evil with a sword, but not
this king. Which is why we also call this ‘Passion Sunday’. ‘Passion’
here means ‘suffering’; evil cannot defeat a Love that is ready to
suffer and die for the beloved. Amazing Love!
