A
few hours into March Madness my bracket is already compromised. Upsets have
taken their toll on some favored teams and I am confident there will be more!
Some folks have detailed formulas, while others are driven by their hearts to
choose favorite teams, and some just close their eyes and pick. The national
champion will be crowned April 4, and while there are favorites to win it all,
at this point, it's anybody's guess.
Sunday morning we will gather for worship to celebrate Palm Sunday. It was a day in which Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem by the cheering crowd, a favorite among them. They were ready to crown him King, a sure thing. But before the week was over, he seemingly had been defeated. Life can change in a moment, the favored become the defeated and all seems lost. The story of Jesus, however doesn't end in defeat. Easter Sunday we will gather to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, hope over disappointment, and life over death. it begins, however, with this Sunday's celebration. I know many of our folks are out of town during spring break, but if you are in town, I look forward to sharing this great story with you Sunday. Invite a friend to join you!
The outcome of March Madness is still very much in doubt. As Palm Sunday gives way to Good Friday and ultimately Easter, doubt gives way to hope. Looking forward to sharing this Holy Week with you.
