In Blessed Borrowing, Pastor Wes reflects on the way Holy Week begins—with a borrowed donkey—and how that theme of borrowing flows through the days ahead: a borrowed room for the Last Supper, a borrowed tomb after the crucifixion. He connects this sacred pattern with personal stories and the everyday reality that much of what we have and experience is borrowed—from palm branches steeped in cultural symbolism to the very moments we share in worship.

Rather than a parade of power, Jesus enters Jerusalem humbly, through the back gate, as the crowd cries “Hosanna”—a word that means “Save us.” Pastor Wes invites us to step into that crowd with sacred imagination, to reflect on why we show up and what we seek. Palm Sunday, he reminds us, isn’t just a celebration—it’s a prayerful entry into a story of love, sacrifice, and grace that we are all borrowing for a time, and called to live into fully.
