1. Holy Week 2015 Our Journey With Jesus Week Beginning Monday 30 th March 2015

2. PALM SUNDAY It is Passover time, A busy time, people jostling, riding donkeys. Near a gate of Jerusalem A smallish, almost non-descript donkey stood tethered. Monday 30 th March 2015 None seemed to want him until two men approached. They looked and then nodded. He will do nicely.

3. A fellow nearby shouted, “What are you doing?” For my Master needs to ride this donkey. Jesus patted this smallish beast, Climbed on his back To the donkey’s delight. “Where am I going?” he thought?. To his astonishment shouts clamoured about his ears palm branches tickled his side. Who is on my back?

4. My feet took my rider Over cobblestones to the temple He patted me on my back A job well done! Sometime later A passer-by said, “Look!” A cross this donkey has marked clearly on his back. I had my triumphal hour, An honour no other had. Carrying the Saviour of the world To cleanse his Father’s temple.

5. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. John 3:16 You are worth far more than you can know. God has never stopped loving you, never stopped searching for you, never stopped wanting you. God sacrificed everything to save you. You are worth more in the eyes of God than anything you could imagine. God made use of a humble and lowly creature for his great glory, how might he use me, if I am willing? Let us pray: Help us lord, to recognise our true worth, in your eyes. Your plans for us are not meant to harm us, but to give us hope, and a future. Fill our hearts with gratitude, for the gift of your son, Jesus. Help us to follow you, so that we may discover your purpose for us, a purpose that will make this world a better place, and make your kingdom a reality. Amen.
