At the beginning of Holy Week, we journey with Jesus from the joy-filled procession of Palm Sunday, through the sorrow of the Cross, and ultimately to the victory of the resurrection.

This message reflects on Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem—riding on a humble donkey while the crowds waved palm branches. In it, we discover a powerful truth: the King has come, but not in the way people expected. These familiar symbols invite us to consider how our own expectations of Jesus compare with who He truly is, and what it means to follow Him in our everyday lives.

As we continue our series through the Gospel of Mark, we encounter Jesus’ challenging words about the true cost of following him. In this passage, Jesus calls his disciples to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him—a Messiah whose power is revealed not through domination, but through sacrifice. Together, we explore what it means to lose our lives for his sake and discover the life that can only be found in him.
