Dear covenant family,
The shouts: ‘Hosanna, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord’ were heard in the streets of Jerusalem. Thousands welcomed what they thought would be an earthly Ruler of the nation Israel, yet He turned out a week later to become the servant of all mankind. Jesus was never afraid of that term ‘servant’; illustrated by his choice of riding on a donkey. This is so different from us today. The call is given to become leaders, movers and shakers, but who speaks about being servants? Maybe it is because we are missing the point. Jesus was aware of the incredible power and opportunity that being a servant brought. Come and join us this Palm Sunday as we unpack the awesome benefits of being called: ‘Being Gods Servant’.
