The most popular man who ever walked the Earth didn't spend his three working years trying to make money, accumulate power, or become well known.
No, Jesus spent his time soaking in Divine Love. He let that love dictate every move he made—healing the broken, feeding the hungry, and looking the powers that be right in the eye to say, "This isn't it."
That is the spiritual path. It’s the harder road, and frankly, it’s the one most people avoid because it doesn't offer a quick return on investment.
Then we get to Holy Week. This is where the tension snaps. The world was given a choice: follow the path of love or stick with the status quo of power and greed. And the world chose to try and destroy the Meek.
We see it in the scriptures, and if we’re honest, we see it in our mirrors. We know it’s wrong to put popularity on a pedestal, yet the gravity of those "strong forces" pulls at us every single day.
This Sunday is Palm Sunday, the doorway into Holy Week. It lays out a stark contrast for us:
Will we bend toward what’s easy?
Or will we bend toward what’s right?
How do we choose the life-giving path of healing and standing up for Love in a world that often prefers the opposite? It’s a difficult path. I’m not going to sugarcoat that. But the good news? But you're on it, I'm on it, and we can do this together.
