Trinity Church

As tumultuous, obscure, and inscrutable as Psalm [68] is, going this way and that, so is the reign of Christ from our vantage point.

The history of the church is a series of victories cleverly disguised as defeats.

"Let God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
But let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly."
(Ps 68:1-3)

For Christians, if we remind ourselves of what Palm Sunday was leading up to, what was going to be accomplished, we of all people should be filled with more joy than could ever be contained.

Their overflowing joy was an anticipatory joy before Jesus was crucified. How much more ought we experience such joy after His crucifixion and resurrection?

As Peter would write, ours is “joy inexpressible, and full of glory.”

From "Palm Sunday Joy" from Pastor Dave Hatcher on Luke 19:37-40
