Servants of the servant king (Palm Sunday)


 I like Palm Sunday because it is a happy time when Jesus reveals His identity as the Servant King. The symbolism is important. Jesus is honoured as a king riding into his capital city – the gold of Epiphany. Not on a horse as a worrier – on a donkey no one else has ridden on – a humble holy man, a priest – the frankincense of Epiphany. He is teaching us how to live as a servant of the servant king.
