Introduction: The Quiet Triumph of the Quiet King

Do you find it difficult to keep quiet? I have to admit, I often find myself unable to stop myself from saying something! I always seem to have an opinion, and I don't mind sharing it!

In contrast, as we reflect on the events of Palm Sunday and the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, we are invited to contemplate the quiet triumph of the "Quiet King." In a world bombarded with noise and distractions, the serene demeanour of Christ as he rode on a donkey teaches us about the power of humility and peace.

The Power of Humility

Jesus, the King of Kings, could have entered Jerusalem in a grand and majestic way, surrounded by a multitude of followers and accompanied by the sounds of trumpets and drums. However, he chose a humble donkey as his mode of transportation, demonstrating his humility and accessibility to all. In doing so, he showed us that true strength does not lie in pomp and circumstance but in humility and service.

As we navigate through our own lives, we can emulate this quiet strength by choosing to respond to life's chaos with calmness and composure. Whether it's a hectic day at work or a disagreement with a friend, we can ask ourselves, "How would Jesus respond?" This approach allows us to carry a sense of divine peace into our interactions and decisions.

Practicing the Quiet Strength

Embracing the quiet strength of Jesus is not always easy, especially in a world that values assertiveness and self-promotion. However, by intentionally cultivating a spirit of humility and peace, we can become more like our Saviour.

One practical way to practice the quiet strength of Jesus is by embracing silence. In the midst of a noisy and busy world, taking moments of silence and solitude can help us centre ourselves and connect with God. Whether it's through prayer, meditation, or simply finding a quiet place to reflect, these moments of stillness can rejuvenate our spirits and remind us of the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Another way to practice the quiet strength of Jesus is by choosing our words carefully
