Remembering who we are amid US budget fight | UMNews.org United Methodists should remember their Wesleyan heritage and seek to defend the marginalized people being targeted in the federal budget, writes retired Bishop Peggy Johnson.

Retired Bishop Peggy Johnson reminds United Methodists to reclaim our roots in justice and mercy — to remember Wesley’s witness to those on the margins — and to push back against policies that harm already vulnerable communities.

Resurrection is not merely a past event but an ongoing call to action, urging us to dismantle injustice and embody new life in our communities.

This Palm Sunday, may we have the courage to walk with those who are crying, “Save us.”

God, let us be part of your healing, justice, and transformation in a hurting world. May our “hosanna” be not just words, but action.
Amen.

We hear the cry of Hosanna today—in war zones, in prisons, in Gaza, at the U.S.-Mexico border, in our broken healthcare and justice systems. It’s a word of urgency. A word that resists silence.

Jesus didn’t answer their cries with violence. He entered on a donkey. His revolution was one of truth-telling, healing, and turning over tables that upheld oppression.

Hosanna wasn’t just a shout of praise. It was—and still is—a cry for help. It means “save us.” In the streets of an occupied city, people cried out for liberation from empire, economic injustice, and corrupt leadership.
