"God and His People Made One"

On this Palm Sunday, we're reminded of the profound significance of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. The sermon draws our attention to God's persistent love, or 'hesed', which appears 242 times in the Old Testament. This steadfast love is what drove God to establish covenants with His people throughout history, culminating in the new covenant through Jesus Christ. We're challenged to see Jesus not just as a prophet or king but as the fulfillment of all previous covenants - the last Adam, the second Noah, the seed of Abraham, the new Moses, and the heir of David. This perspective invites us to reflect on our own relationship with God and how we respond to His persistent love in our lives.
