The Glory Returns

Preacher:
Passage: Mark 11:1-11

We gather today to celebrate what has traditionally been called Palm Sunday. Less than a week before the crowds would be shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” here they are shouting , “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” All throughout his public ministry Jesus avoided the spotlight. Here, he creates it and steps into it, inviting a certain recognition of his Messianic identity. But by what he does upon entering the city and the next day, shows he is not going to conform himself to the expectations of people, but requires that they conform themselves to his expectations of them.. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
