homecoming
college makes you think about homecoming in a whole new way. not homecoming in the sense of football, pep rallies, and lots of partying. homecoming in the sense of "wow, I haven't seen my family in a long time." (whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.)
it's interesting to think of palm sunday as a homecoming. jesus had been away for a long time (40 days), and, while he had performed many miracles and preached many sermons, he was ready to return to civilization for what would be his final week of life. people praised him, threw their coats on the ground his donkey walked, waved palms, and so on. they were excited that jesus was coming home (even the rocks and stones would start to sing, apparently.)
have you ever had an exciting homecoming like that? probably not. but there are some who have. think of our military overseas. think of the prodigal sons and daughters of the world. think of the type of homecoming you can only see in movies like antwone fisher.
it's the kind of homecoming god gives all his children.
