from Hosanna to crucify...

Palm Sunday is done for another year - and so we begin this Holy Week
This morning we reflected on how quickly we can fall from grace
how quickly things can change
...and how to some eyes Jesus went from Hero to Zero in no time at all... and to some eyes it all went horribly wrong

This evening we filled the church with fragrance - and asked "Who is this man?" below is the reflection:
Who does he think he is?

Now look here!
Just who do you think you are?
You come and challenge everything we stood for, everything we knew
You call God, YAHWEH, your father –
How can you do that?!

Just who do you think you are?
Do you want me to think you are the
Chosen One?
Should I? Dare I?
What am I supposed to think?

Just who do you think you are?
The teachers, the upholders of the law, why do they fear you?
They are the clever ones – aren’t they?
They know the laws of God – don’t they?

Just who do you think you are?

What?!
Who do I think you are?

If I say it...
if I commit,
then what?

Who do I think you are?

You are a man – that’s for sure
but you’re more than that, aren’t you?

You have power, authority – where does that come from?
You wouldn’t answer them, but they knew...
didn’t they?

Who do I think you are?

You are the chosen one
You are the Messiah
The Son of Man
The Son of God


Who do I think I am?

I am one who put my trust in a man
I am one who joined crowds and cheered and waved
I am one who hid in dark corners when things got tough
I am one, known by the One,
My name is written on his hand


Who do I think I am?
I am one who waits
who fears
who hopes

What do you think of that?


who is He?
He is our Saviour!!
