It's the talk of the town.......it's the buzz. Aslan is on the move.........Jesus is on the move! The divine son of God is on the move.

This morning at church, I learned that Jesus is on the move! Today is Palm Sunday--the first day of Holy Week. The bible tells us that the intensity and drama is building. The people are gathering from all over to see Jesus on the move. Holly week is given to us because this is our chance.......God is calling each of us to act.......yes, "Act"! Holy week is not just something we do. It is who we are. It is an action--not just a ritual or tradition. It is who we are on Sunday and the whole week through. It is who we are at work, at home, in social circles, and it is who we are in church. God is giving us this week to see what the buzz is all about.

Jesus is on the move. He is telling us to move with him. He says, "Come with me, move with me, have faith in me!" Holy week is all about movement.........purposeful movement. Ask yourself, "Is Jesus on the move in my life?"Do you pour yourself and your love into your friends, family, co-workers, grocery store clerks, etc? Or, do you wonder why things are not going so well for you? Well, maybe that is because you are sitting still! Get on the move! Trust me, you will warm up!

You know, the most important thing to consider about Holy week is that Jesus walked right into His own death. He knew He was going to be killed. So why did He go? You know the answer.......He did it for YOU! He knew what you would need and He put your needs before His own. This is truly honorable, so very loving. And years later, He is still doing it for us. He is giving each of us the gift of eternal life with His father. So, what are you waiting for? Why not get on the move with Jesus.........run with Him! You won't have to ask why your life is so bad. You won't have to ask why nothing goes your way when you gossip about another child of God. Don't be bitter! Don't stand still! Get on the move! Aslan (the Lion........Jesus) is on the move this week. Run with Him! Let Jesus be on the move in you!

Hosanna...............Praise God...............God Save us!
