Palm Sunday is the preview before the crucifixion that the powers of hate do not have the last word. Joy is ours. It is not a shallow joy, but joy from the very wells at the heart of creation. For in the joy of Jesus, no tear will be unaccounted for. They are each numbered and kept in the Lord’s bottle, as the Psalm says. Yet, joy will catch up and transforms all sorrow. Palm Sunday assures us that Jesus will be seen to be the center of a teeming, intimate and glorious new humanity enfolded into the everlasting life of the Triune God, ruling with him over a restored creation.
