The Old Testament Readings:
Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29,
Palm Sunday /
Easter Day, The Old Testament Readings: Weekly Comments on the
Revised Common Lectionary, Howard Wallace Audrey Schindler, Morag Logan,
Paul Tonson, Lorraine Parkinson, Theological Hall of the Uniting Church,
Melbourne, Australia.
| "This psalm, chosen for the
celebration of Palm Sunday, is appropriately a psalm of thanksgiving
and celebration, befitting Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. It had
strong connections with the Easter season in the early church and
its use in early Christian theology. It is also the psalm set for
Easter Day." |

|
Desert Scribblings, Easter Sunday, Geoff McElroy, Desert
Scribblings.
| "The powers of this world that dominate us, sin
and fear and doubt, like the power of Rome before them, are
conquered and overturned. The power of death, which looms over all
human beings and shadows all that we do, is shattered." |

"The Day the Lord Has Made": A Meditation, J. Barry Vaughn,
merechistian.org.
| "Had we nothing more of the Bible than this one verse,
it would be almost enough. It reminds us of the essential facts of the
Bible. God made the world and everything in it; time, no less than human
life, is finite. In fact, it may be the very finitude of life that makes
rejoicing imperative." |
