The Passion of Our Lord Mark 15:1-39 Message
About this morning’s service . . . “Palm Sunday” is named after the palms which were spread before Jesus as he entered Jerusalem for the last time. The words, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest,” come from a royal psalm, Psalm 118:25-26. Thus, the people of Jerusalem hailed Jesus as a king, too, but their cries would turn to “Crucify!” only days later. This sudden shift in attitude toward Jesus is reflected in our own service as the joy of His triumphal entry into Jerusalem gives way to the suffering and agony of His passion. A silent prayer before the service . . . Lord Jesus Christ, at Calvary you humbled yourself and became my servant; you became obedient even to the point of death. Help me this week, O Lord, to serve my friends and neighbors as you have served me—to look to the interest of others and thereby show your divine love. In your precious name I pray. Amen.
