## Resource

THE UNEXPECTED surprises us - every time. * ok, ould that be an official quote I just made up? Is it soooo simple and obvious that it might just be profound?? haha! The truth is life is full of surprises. And in our Scripture passage this Sunday (one of the biggest moments in the Bible), everyone experienced the unexpected. It was a parade that turned into a funeral march, and a celebration that made Jesus cry. It was a party that ended in tears. Walking gently and humbly on the journey into Jerusalem, Jesus rode a colt among a crowd that celebrated and honored him. With this same humility, Jesus gathered with his disciples in servanthood and compassion, faced his accusers, and hung on a cross with criminals. But today, we focus not on the end of the journey, but the entry into Jerusalem at the beginning of holy week. Everything is here—humbleness and triumph—foreshadowing the mystery of death and the surprise of a resurrection yet to come. Sundays 9 & 10:30AM // 70 Stephens Ln. Bayside, CA 95524
