Today’s Scripture from John 12 packs a lot in: an anointing, a parade of palms, and Jesus using metaphors about seeds and light.
We’re entering the final days of Jesus’ life, and he was trying to connect the dots for his community, to depict the rescue Yahweh had planned through his death and resurrection.
It was a lot for people to grasp back then—it’s still a lot now. Yet we’ll try to connect some dots for ourselves so that we can see the seeds Yahweh planted long, long ago are still growing in our own lives today.
