In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Eric explores themes of "silence" and "shouting" in Jesus' dramatic entrance into Jerusalem for the Passover festival celebrating their ancestor's liberation from bondage in Egypt, and his disruptive actions immediately afterward in the Temple.
Often missed is how intentional, deliberate, and organized his actions were; Jesus is engaged in street theater, in a public protest against injustice and corrupt rulers.
Does the Jesus we find here surprise us? What if we cannot truly understand who crucified Jesus and why apart from these actions? What does that reveal about Jesus--his mission and his teachings? What does that mean for us as those who seek to follow Jesus through the mess of injustice, corruption, and violence in our own world?
Listen in as we wrestle with these questions.
