Isaiah 40-55 are passages that talk about the image of a suffering servant. The lectionary preparers likely chose this reading for Palm Sunday as a foreshadowing of the suffering Jesus was going to endure in Jerusalem. The servant illustrated in the servant songs is a wise and loyal follower of God who will have a gentle heart, a trained tongue, a listening ear, and the courage to love with sacrificial love. The way the passages are written invites the reader to imagine him\/herself as the servant just as we so often try to insert the image of Christ into this servant role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-1706b55b-3b7c-4723-be8c-b6cdcfb4b381\" href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Year_B_Palm_Sunday_Old_Testament_Younger_Children.pdf\">Lesson Plan for Younger Children<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Year_B_Palm_Sunday_Old_Testament_Younger_Children.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-1706b55b-3b7c-4723-be8c-b6cdcfb4b381\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-0e18648f-a6c0-410e-bea0-00676e3c3a67\" href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Year_B_Palm_Sunday_Old_Testament_Older_Children.pdf\">Lesson Plan for Older Children<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Year_B_Palm_Sunday_Old_Testament_Older_Children.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-0e18648f-a6c0-410e-bea0-00676e3c3a67\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3490571_03ac64-a3\">New Testament Lesson Plans: Walk with Jesus <\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3490571_850355-dc\"><strong>Scripture: Mark 14:1-15 or Mark 15:1-39( 40-47)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abundance, not scarcity.
