2019-04-14 - Year C - Palm Sunday - The Rev. Christopher M. Klukas
Luke 19:28-40; Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Psalm 22:1-11; Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 23:1-49
To a first-century Jew, everything Jesus said and did looked as if he were building a movement to fight the Romans and take his place on the throne of Israel. Could this be the Messiah, the Son of David? Jesus was and is a king, but his kingdom is a different sort of kingdom, the battle he was preparing for was a different kind of battle, and the enemy he was preparing to fight was not the one everyone thought he would fight. On Palm Sunday we celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the beginning of Holy Week, the beginning of Jesus' battle against sin and death.
