Theme: The Lord’s Own Thoughts about Palm Sunday
In this week leading up to Easter, we focus on an event that shows how Jesus would have received the crowds on Palm Sunday if they had truly come to him in faith and repentance.
Scripture: Luke 13:31-35

It's an interesting feature about the critical moments in the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ that His own comments about them are seldom found in conjunction with the events themselves, but rather you find them somewhere else in Scripture. Think of the incarnation or the birth, for example. You don't find our Lord's comments there in connection with the birth narratives, naturally, or for that matter even anywhere else in the gospels. You do find it later on in the New Testament in the book of Hebrews, in chapter 10, verses 5-7. That author writes, "Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: 'Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, “Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—I have come to do your will, O God.”’”
