(Sermon for Palm Sunday, April 2, 2023) When you read the story of Jesus’ dramatic entry into Jerusalem in Matthew 21:1-11, the appropriate question to ask is “What’s going on?” It’s so much more than a joyous parade. When we step back and ask a few questions about this text we quickly realize that we are being presented with a choice; the choice between violence and nonviolence. Our seeking question is “Where are you headed?” We know where Jesus is headed. Where are YOU headed?
