Thoughts on Year B Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Palm
Sunday," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church
in Australia.
 | "Neither Mark nor John is
setting the incident under the banner of a Jesus who is going up to
Jerusalem to perform a sacrifice for sins through offering his own
body for execution, even though they know such traditions and they
often take over the story when we retell it. Such traditions are
largely absent in the passion narratives and appear mainly in the
last supper tradition. Instead, the narrative plays with competing
expectations of messiahship, hope and humanness, and ultimately, of
God. That play begins dramatically at the entry. We need to help
people make their entry, too." |
