Thought for the Week
from Anglican Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 29th March
We Will Worship
‘They took palm branches and went forth to meet him, shouting “Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!”’
(John 12:13).
We have reached Palm Sunday and Holy Week.
It begins and ends with the same truth, but not in a way that could ever have been guessed.
The crowds recognised the truth about Jesus, that he was indeed the king of Israel,
the King of God’s Kingdom. They rightly greeted him with shouts of praise.
At the end of the week, the same king is crucified, having been crowned with thorns and enthroned on a cross.
But, as we now know, even the cross was the mark of his Kingship and the coming of God’s Kingdom.
For by the cross the Saviour brings the forgiveness which saves. God’s way and God’s might are astonishing
and we cannot help but bow in worship and give him all glory. ‘In the cross of Christ I glory…’
Question for thought: How do I worship my Saviour?
Loving Lord, we thank you for members in the Dioceses of Ikwerre and Ife East in Nigeria
and for their resilience as they face persecution. Give them courage and steadfastness.
We pray as they care for the vulnerable in their communities,
they will have opportunity to share the hope they have in you. Amen.
