Palm Sunday: Hope for Salvation for Afghans and the World

Palm Sunday remembers and celebrates when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, as foretold in a prophecy in the Old Testament in Isaiah and Zechariah. "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." The people wanted an insurrectionist to topple Rome. Jesus did come to defeat an enemy, but not the one they had in mind. Instead, He came to defeat the enemies of sin, death, and the devil that ensnared every man and woman since Adam and Eve.

Unity in Christ transcends ethnic and racial boundaries. In today’s society, where ethnic, linguistic, and cultural differences sometimes become tools for division, the message of the Gospel is a light of hope that breaks through the darkness of separations. The Apostle Paul boldly declares in his letter to the Galatians: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28) This verse reminds us that in Jesus Christ, earthly identities fade away, and all believers are united as one family in God.

Nowruz and the New Creation in the Light of Christian Faith

Nowruz is not only a national and cultural celebration but also embodies profound concepts of renewal, change, and hope, which can be compared to Christian teachings. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us that in Christ, we are a new creation, and we can leave the past behind and begin a fresh life. Just as Nowruz heralds the arrival of spring and new life in nature, faith in Christ also initiates a new life in humanity. This similarity shows that the message of Nowruz and the message of the Gospel both invite us to renewal, forgiveness, and hope for a bright future.

Christ Is the Saviour of Us Afghans Too

It is not our faith that makes us acceptable to God, but Christ Himself. Faith unites us to Christ, and therefore His absolute goodness becomes ours. Since we have believed in Jesus Christ, we are counted righteous. So the question arises, who is condemned?
