What Are You Doing? (Palm Sunday)

The question Jesus considers on Palm Sunday is a question the disciples will get asked: “What are you doing” (Mark 11:5)? We have all asked this question of others, especially our kids when they are getting ready to get themselves into trouble. But we also ask it of God: “God, what are you doing? Why are you taking whatever-my-colt-is from me?” And God’s answer is the same as Jesus’: “The Lord needs it.” Sometimes what is taken from us is used for us – for our blessing and benefit.
