Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you—righteous and having salvation. Humble and riding upon a donkey. Zech. 9:9

Palm Sunday: Jesus rides into Jerusalem with the expectation of his followers to conquer the legions of Rome. His little donkey did not seem so formidable. Yet by the cross he brings us peace in a world of war and chaos. Zechariah had the expectations correct: betrayed, pierced and scattered followers. Our puny expectations are shattered but we land in salvific peace. That changes everything.
