Palm Sunday marks the start of Jesus' final week in Jerusalem, and of a journey that every Christian must go through as they encounter Christ Jesus. From our initial celebration of Him coming into our lives, to the sudden and unexpected death of our own idea and perception of who we thought He would be for us and what we thought He would do for us, to the life, meaning, and purpose He brings anew to us as we finally truly come face-to-face with who He really is: we must come all the way through this journey, past the pomp and circumstance and all of its religious trappings and into a real relationship with the One and Only, else we deceive ourselves and others with an incomplete picture of the Messiah. Following anything less is following in futility a false idol. If you have walked the "Christian" experience and new life hasn't been found in Jesus, you have yet to encounter Christ face-to-face.
About Me
- Ryan
- A friend of mine once said that I am the real life equivalent of Ralph Wiggum. Except for the fact that we are both naïve, well meaning, & a bit socially awkward, I really do not see the resemblance. Though I do have a fondness for paste & my parents, too, won’t let me use scissors. Perhaps there is a little more Wiggum in me than I'd like to admit, but there's so much more to me. Although people's perception of me may be apt given my outer veneer, they do not realize that there is a lot more to me than meets the eye... more layers to this onion, if you will. I AM RYAN. I like to read & I like to write, though I am painfully slow at both. I love music, yet am rhythmically impaired. I love movies made w/ thought, emotion & movies that inspire, yet I also favor movies that are completely ridiculous. I believe in truth, beauty, freedom, love, but above all things, God.
