Travel Itinerary

Life is in the details. Phones that keep ringing, copy machines that jam, and children who are sick when we need to be at work. Look at the details that grabbed Jesus attention. The precision in which he planned his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And look at what details Jesus ignored- the details of urgency, effectiveness, recognition and popularity. Details that consume us never crossed Jesus mind. And we easily overlook the details he was concerned about.

We tend to think that spirituality means escaping all these concerns with details. We know the details of Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, Good Friday and Easter. We've gone through them year after year. Why do it again? Because it's the only way we can take our eyes off the things that do not matter and set them upon the arrival of the Savior.
