As time went on, mankind got further and further from their creator, but God had a plan. Easter is the celebration of God unveiling His great love for us by making a way for us to be brought near through the death and life of Jesus Christ.
In God’s sovereign plan, Jesus is set to become king. Palm Sunday sets the stage for Jesus to establish his rule. If only the people hadn’t missed him because they painted the Messiah to be a conquering warrior-king rather than a humble servant. Have you missed him too?
The church matters, but the church is not a purpose unto itself. We are a part of God’s eternal plan and we need to give God a blank check and say we’ll go wherever and serve whomever and suffer whatever. You fill in the blank God.
If we aren’t intentional, we tend to just drift through life. The Apostle Paul knew this, so he urges us to stay alert and make the most of every opportunity we’re given.
