On Palm Sunday, and like many other responsible Christian communities, PPC celebrated this tradition together (virtually) while each of us was isolated.

We even shared communion (virtually). I was delighted to see this picture.

Palm Sunday recalls what’s often titled Jesus’ “Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem.” The enormous crowds there for Passover waved palm branches in a royal welcome for Him; a welcome that would turn into shouts of “crucify Him!” by the end of the week.

Given our current social distancing needs; here’s something to ponder?

As Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem and this welcome, Luke’s account had Him stop at a village where He healed 10 lepers.

Leprosy was a fearful disease and isolation was the response.

One of the newly healed thanked Jesus to which He replied “go on your way, your faith has made you well.”

Might this person be among the thousands and thousands who lined the streets on that Palm Sunday?

Where once he had been isolated, now free to be around with whoever he wants, he and all the others wait together as one…

…recognizing Jesus is the One for whom they have been waiting.

And like him in our isolation, all of us together -- we wait as one as well, yet we don’t have to be alone.
