Big Jesus wins award for the ‘Best Community Entry’ in the parade.
We had a unique perspective on Jesus, His fame and renown. If the crowds were silenced even the stones would have cried out to Him.
This must be what it was like for Jesus to enter Jerusalem, re-enacted for the benefit of his LGBT people…What does this say for us and for Him?

By and large, the gospel of grace is neither proclaimed, understood, nor lived. Brennan Manning
When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the driver. Corrie Ten Boone
Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not.” ~ C.S. Lewis
God in His love always does what is best for us. In His wisdom He always knows what is best for us, and in His sovereignty He has the power to bring it about.
“Love is an unconditional commitment to selflessly serve, truthfully communicate, fearlessly protect, gracefully forgive, compassionately heal, and enduringly remain in relationship with and for the sake of the other.”

Taken from a book I’m trying to write called Absolute Grace:
‘One With Him’
“I in them and You in Me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.” John 17:23
When we think of a relationship, we often imagine connection — communication, affection, shared experiences. And rightly so. But in the Christian life, our relationship with Christ is not just about proximity or mutual interest; it is about union. A kind of unity that goes deeper than we can fully grasp.
In our dictionaries, “relationship” may be defined as “the way in which two or more people are connected.” But Jesus invites us into something much more profound: a shared life. Our union with Him mirrors the mysterious unity of the Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, perfectly one. This isn’t mere metaphor. It is the divine pattern into which we, as believers, are drawn.
Through faith, we become part of Christ. We are not just aligned with Him in purpose — we are joined to Him in spirit. Paul describes it this way: “He who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him” (1 Corinthians 6:17). That’s not poetic exaggeration. That’s spiritual reality.
This truth redefines our identity. We are not individuals striving to please a distant God. We are saints united with Jesus, branches in the Vine, members of His body. His life flows through ours. His victory becomes our victory. His righteousness becomes our covering.
Take a moment today to consider this: You are not alone, and you are not merely associated with Christ. You are in Him, and He is in you. Let that truth shape how you pray, how you walk, and how you see yourself. Rest in the reality that your relationship with Jesus is not just about connection — it’s about union.
