What kind of King is this?

Dear All Saints and St Marys
This Sunday the churches mark the beginning of Holy Week.
This last week of Lent we journey with Jesus and the disciples as we remember together the places and events of that week of Jesus life.
It is a turbulent time, full of joys, sorrows, crowds and conversations. We are invited to ask some of the most profound questions about life and death.
What does this mean for me?
What does this mean for the world?
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of this moment. All over the world people will gather, as we are also invited to do, to join processions which retell the story of Jesus entry into Jerusalem. The people were eager for change, enthusiastic in their desire for a new leader, on the verge of revolt as they welcomed Jesus into the city. The King that they wanted so badly came on a donkey, offering peace and non violence as a response, rather than aggression or war.
In a world where some see war and violence as a possible solution to global friction and disagreement, perhaps it is most pertinent that Jesus offers the world a very different path to follow. We are invited this week to look on, journey with, the humble Son of God, who radically came to show us a new way to live.
