The Flint-Faced Savior for a Fickle People
Today, we join the ancient crowds in crying, “Hosanna!” Yet, we know how quickly the joyful cheers of Palm Sunday faded into the violent demands of Good Friday. If we are honest, our own hearts are often just as fickle—praising God one moment and wandering the next. How comforting it is that our salvation relies not on our wavering devotion, but on the unwavering resolve of our God. As we enter Holy Week, the prophet Isaiah points us to the Lord’s Servant, who willingly embraced mockery and shame for our sake, setting His face like flint toward the cross. As we gather this morning, prepare your hearts to marvel at the depths of His love: the Flint-Faced Savior for a fickle people.
