Crucify Him: What Palm Sunday Reveals About Our Choices

Palm Sunday isn't just a reflection on the Passion of Christ—it's a challenge to our daily lives. As we walk through the readings, we’re confronted with the question: Do we really choose Jesus, or are we still shouting ‘Crucify Him’ every time we sin?

In this raw reflection, TJ Haynes breaks down the Gospel reading like you’ve never heard before, calling out the uncomfortable truth that every time we sin, we reject Christ. It's not just about the crowd in the Gospel—it’s about us. How often do we, in our own lives, choose Barabbas over Christ? How often do we crucify Him in our hearts, instead of following His call to holiness?

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why Palm Sunday is more than a tradition—it’s a mirror to our own choices.
How our sin is an active part of the crucifixion narrative.
The tension between righteousness and corruption, both in the Gospel and in our lives.
How we can confront the hidden sin that keeps putting Christ back on the cross.
The bold, uncomfortable truth about our role in Christ's suffering.
