Palm Sunday: The Stones will Shout

Text: Luke 19:28-40

"The people spreading their cloaks ahead of Jesus as he enters Jerusalem on a baby colt know that there is another parade happening on the other side of town with Pontius Pilate, surrounded by Roman solders, on a huge war horse. 

And just like these people in the crowd this morning, we have to choose which parade we want to join. We cannot take comfort in both the davior who comes in on an unridden colt and the savior who comes in on an intimidating war horse.  

For one must terrify us and one must give us hope. 

Which parade do you choose? Which parade brings you comfort?  Which parade gives you hope for this world?"
