The Good News Is Inspiring Us To Act

​​Today is Palm Sunday—the last Sunday of Lent, and the beginning of Holy Week. Throughout Lent, we’ve been asking the simple yet powerful question: Where do we see good news? In a world in which we’re inundated with bad news, this question helps us return to the heart of Jesus’ teachings, and reminds us that the Gospel is good news! It’s the story of a God who loves humanity so deeply that God took on flesh and bone to be with us—a love so deep that even death cannot overcome it. And it’s a love that calls us into community: to care for one another, protect one another, and remind each other that we belong. Naming all that goodness reminds us that God is still at work, and it helps us remember that following Jesus isn’t meant to be passive—we are called to be messengers of God’s Good News right here and right now!
