Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
“Hosanna!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
—Mark 11.9-10
“Hosanna!” “O, Save!”
Once a desperate cry for help,
became a confident cry of praise.
Because the One we cried to
did save. And will save.
And who is this who saves?
The Humble One, riding on a donkey,
the Loving One, pouring himself out
for us.
Even as our mouths cry out for triumph
and our hands grasp for power and glory,
they will not save us.
Our hearts know this,
even as they prepare to betray and deny:
only love will save us.
Hosanna!
O Love, you who save us
from all that we want,
to you alone
we give our hearts.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
