"After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus told them, 'This very night you will all fall away on account of Me.' Peter replied, 'Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.' 'Truly I tell you,' Jesus answered, 'this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.'" Matthew 26:31; 33-34

On Palm Sunday, Jesus was rejected by a few, which caused HIm to weep. But He was also welcomed by many. Day after day people thronged to Him and His teaching, celebrating the wonders of the coming kingdom. Palm Sunday may be the clearest picture we have of how God visits an entire community with His transforming power. Today, we celebrate the hope that God will visit His people throughout the world to glorify Himself before the end of the age.
