There are many spiritual lessons in this seemly simple Gospel. At the beginning of the Gospel Jesus gives very specific instructions. I suspect Matthew is telling his listeners that Jesus knew what was going on and that this was a very deliberate act. I wonder what Jesus was thinking about while he was on the colt entering the city. He is listening to the people shout hosanna, wave palm branches which was a customary way to welcome an important dignitary. I am sure he appreciated the warm welcome he was receiving from the people. But he knew that the same people who were honouring him with the words “Hosanna” would within a week be yelling “crucify him” as he was carrying his cross. It is often stated that Jesus knew what thoughts were in people’s hearts, check out John 2:24-25. It must have been a difficult time for him.

The Gospel for March 22, 2026, is the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. This is one of three resurrection stories in the Gospels—the others involve Jairus's daughter and the son of the widow of Nain. What sets Lazarus's story apart? Jesus knew Lazarus, along with his sisters Mary and Martha, whom we've encountered before. The deepest lessons emerge before the miracle itself.

Jesus invites us to see death differently. Awareness of mortality prompts us to prioritize what truly matters, fostering deeper appreciation for life. This shifts focus from trivial worries to making meaningful actions, building psychological resilience and stronger relationships.

The Pharisees are fixated on the fact that Jesus healed the man on the Sabbath and missing the more significant and obvious miracle of a man being given the opportunity to see for the very first time. The Pharisees clearly have an agenda and rigidly hold on to it despite the facts and that their perspective is literally missing the bigger picture. . The man who was once blind has not only gained his sight but is able to see more than the Pharisees who have always had their sight.
