The Power and Authority of Jesus

As we journey through Holy Week, we're invited to explore the profound significance of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Mark's Gospel presents a unique perspective, emphasizing Jesus not just as a humble servant, but as the King with ultimate authority. We see Jesus orchestrating every detail, from the procurement of the colt to the inspection of the temple. This narrative challenges us to reflect on how we view Christ in our lives. Do we see Him merely as a friend or savior, or do we truly acknowledge Him as our King? The cursing of the fig tree serves as a powerful metaphor, urging us to examine the fruit in our own lives. Are we merely putting on a show of faith, or are we truly bearing the fruit of the Spirit? This Holy Week, let's recommit ourselves to Christ's kingship, allowing Him to transform us from the inside out, producing genuine fruit that nourishes a world in need.
