Palm Sunday
On the original Palm Sunday, Jesus Christ rode into the city of Jerusalem on an ass, fully understanding that he was intentionally fulfilling a prophesy. His admirers lined the streets with palm leaves, as it was written:
**********
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zechariah 9:9
They quickly took their cloaks and spread them under him on the bare steps. Then they blew the trumpet and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
2Kings 9:13

His enemies saw him and began plotting his demise from that day.
The religious leaders of the day found Jesus Christ to be a threat.
The following days led to the tragic death of the Messiah, the messenger of God.
Religion had killed its own messenger.
So too today, innocents worshipping the word of God are destroyed in the very name of religion.
But in his death Jesus claimed victory over life. He let go of pride, and ego, giving away all that he owned. He embodied humility in his lifestyle, and he demonstrated the art of defenselessness when he refused to say a word at his own trial.
He demonstrated complete detachment from all of life's Gems, the values that drive people to greed and envy, and corruption of character.
In the end, he was the victor not the victim, as it was he who rose above the battlefield of life and death and ascended to a greater life, a higher consciousness, in communion with the Most High.
It was always the spirit that guided Jesus the Christ. That was a perfect life, and he spent it all, down to the last alm, to purchase the Truth, and show The Way, so that you might have a better Life.
For those who tell a lie, the lie becomes their truth, and their prison. That is why the Truth shall set you free.
*********
Heaven and earth will pass away. My words will never pass away. - Jesus Christ
The Truth never dies.
