Life is full of contrasts: from something as simple as comparing an empty and full glass of water; to the complexities of human nature with all our up, down, ins, and outs.
Jesus was no stranger to contrast as he encountered people. Here on Palm Sunday we witness the contrast between cheering people, soon to be replaced by jeering people. Jesus, the one who was with God in the beginning, the living and highly exalted Word of God, takes on humility. He humbled himself and became obedient unto death – even death on a cross!
