"A Grand Entrance"
John 12:12-19
Palm Sunday. The joyous celebration that opens Holy Week, recalling that day when Jesus entered Jerusalem to cries of "Hosanna!" Many churches reenact the day by having children parade through the sanctuary waving palm branches.
But we miss that this event was explosive. Palms to us are a sign of a nice vacation. Then, they were treason. Jesus is the flame that lights the fuse on the powder keg that Jerusalem was in that day and time...
