The Ultimate Sacrifice: A Palm Sunday Reflection • 29 March 2026

For March 29th, Palm Sunday

As we enter Holy Week, we transition from Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem to the profound events of His Passion.

In this moving reflection, we explore the theme of sacrifice—from the everyday sacrifices we make for our loved ones to life-altering moments of giving, illustrated by a touching personal story of a father's life-saving blood donation for his daughter. We then look back to the Passover lamb that delivered Israel, pointing us directly to the ultimate sacrifice: Jesus Christ pouring out His own blood to deliver us from the bondage of sin.

As we reflect on the cross this Holy Week, may we be inspired to offer our own lives to the Father in thanksgiving, embracing sacrifice not as a loss, but as our true hope and salvation.
