Finding Mercy In The Way Of Sorrow
Dear Friends of Burnside,
This Sunday, we will celebrate Palm Sunday and the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. As we wave our palm branches and sing "Hosanna!", we will also explore the depths of sorrow and struggle that ultimately led to Christ's sacrifice and victory.
The Scripture teaches us that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5). As we transition from Lament to Celebration during this Holy Week, may our hearts be prepared to fully experience the joy of the resurrection!
I encourage you to join us this Sunday.
