2024-03-24 Not All Who Wander Are Lost (5) Songs of Loudest Praise, Palm Sunday—Rev Anne Baxter Smith Meditations from The Church at Southpoint

This Lent we've been on a long journey with Peter — observing his journey of faith, and our own — we've been wandering, we've been wondering, but not today! Today, we are walking with purpose. Today, we are waving branches in the air, we are singing and we are celebrating the way God was on the move through Jesus, and the way God is on the move in our midst, now.

When the crowds saw Jesus coming towards Jerusalem, the people were exuberant, cheering him on joyfully as he approached the city.  Enthusiasm is a powerful force which  ignites our spirits and infuses our actions. How is Jesus on the move among us? Could our exuberance be a sign of his presence?
