"First
Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Palm Sunday,"

"Luke's Triumphal (?) Entry,"
Mary Hinkle, Pilgrim Preaching:
Keeping Company with Biblical Texts and the People Who Hear and Preach Them.
| "...when the text is from Luke's
gospel, I would try to have the sermon and service feel subdued yet
hopeful, rather than 'triumphal' and characterized by 'Cameron
craziness.' (Cameron is the name of Duke's basketball arena.)" |
|
| Exegetical
Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks
Christian Resources.
| "When Jesus enters Jerusalem,
his disciples pray for peace in heaven (and, presumably on
earth, which will bring glory in the highest), but his visitation
causes a division." |

conversation regarding Progressive Christianity."

Luke recording of some other folks invited to 'Go ....' As you listen,
raise the question: where you are being led to 'Go ....'?" |

"'If
These Become Silent, the Stones Will Cry Out!"
Jerry Goebel, One
Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study
and activities.
| "We may be abandoned by the crowds,
scorned by leaders, unsuccessful according to this world, and even
persecuted, but that would make us more like Christ than if we were
accepted by the crowds, praised by leaders, successful according to this
world, and living a life of comfort and ease." |

Thomas G. Long, The Christian Century, 2001.

so as a king, but his royalty was not pomp and power but humble obedience.

exegetical notes by Peter L. Haynes, Long Green Valley Church of the

Commentary and Preaching Paths (Lent C6), by Jirair Tashjian, at The
Christian Resource Institute.
| "In a day when Christians in
America are increasingly in a crusading posture to capture more
political, social, and economic power, the picture of Jesus riding
into Jerusalem on a lowly donkey and anticipating intense
opposition, rejection, and death makes us rather uneasy." |
|

"Jesus the Rejected King," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible
Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources.
| "Christ is ignored in the secular city.
Western civilization staggers from one crisis to another." |

"The Road to Jerusalem Is Clear," Joan Chittister, National Catholic
Reporter, 2001.
| "The real key to the coming of the
reign of God on earth, the rabbis imply, is not God's fidelity. The real
determinant between what ought to be and what will be in this world is the
mettle of our own unflagging faith that the God who leads us to a point of
holy wakefulness stays with us through it to the end." |
