Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

Today is Passion (Palm) Sunday, the day we observe God's return to his people as their king and Messiah. But are his people ready for Jesus's brand of Messiahship? Like today, some were, some weren't. Why? Because Jesus wasn't and isn't the Messiah we want or expected. His path to glory is through suffering obedience, not power and status. By his wounds we are healed and restored and our Lord calls us to follow him in his suffering obedience as well. Uh-oh. Check out what Fr. Maney has to say about it all and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Isaiah 50.4-9a; Psalm 31.9-16; Philippians 2.5-11; Luke 19.28-40. Passion gospel: Luke 22.14-23.56.
