The One Who is Marvelous in Our Eyes (Palm Sunday)

Palm Sunday is the moment Psalm 118's prophecy unfolds. Jesus's entry into Jerusalem is the "gate of righteousness" opening, his rejection the "cornerstone" laid. Jesus, not human effort, is the source of righteousness. The day marks the start of God's visible salvation plan, culminating in Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection. Palm Sunday is a triumphant arrival, where Jesus, the Savior, initiates his saving work, fulfilling prophecy and revealing God's "marvelous" mercy.
