The crowds wave palms and shout Hosanna. By Friday the same city will shout Crucify.Palm Sunday is not a celebration. It is a warning.Today's liturgy includes both the triumphal procession and the full Passion narrative from Matthew. The same people who welcomed Jesus as king will demand his execution within days. The human heart that adored him is the same heart that killed Him.Isaiah prophesied a servant who would set his face like flint and walk into suffering. The psalm Jesus quotes from the cross describes his death in detail, written centuries before crucifixion existed. Paul explains the meaning: he emptied himself, became obedient to death on a cross, and was exalted above every name.This is the week that changed everything.
