The Queen came to our local city of Armagh today.It was a very special occasion and many people had been getting ready for this visit for quite some time.One of our little pupils was singing in the cathedral choir and had rehearsed so much, he would have preferred to have been involved in the Easter egg hunt at school instead. I suppose that makes a lot of sense when you're only eight or nine and can't quite see what all the fuss is about.New hats, new coats, fresh paint everywhere - it was all simply the order of the day.I even spoke with a friend who saw Her Majesty drive past along the road, simply by chance.You could see she was visibly excited, and why not?
I couldn't help thinking about the entry of The King of Kings into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.What a contrast!I wonder what it would be like if Jesus were to come back here today?How would He be welcomed?What time would people give Him?As we begin to reflect on the meaning of Easter, this Maundy Thursday, let's ask ourselves just how important Jesus is to each of us.
What a blessing tonight to know that He can do for us what no-one else can ever do."He can forgive our sins.He canceled the debt, which listed all the rules we failed to follow."
Colossians 2.13-14.
