8.26.2018 The Non-Triumphal Entry Matt Skrabec

Week 2 of King & Cross. Text: Mark 11:1-11. Jesus’ ministry seems to be coming to a dramatic conclusion as he enters Jerusalem at the time of Passover to shouts of “Hosanna!” Surely the arrival of the king will initiate a celebration, a wonderful welcome, a showdown with his opponents! And yet, the city’s response to the return of the king is quite underwhelming. What do we make of this, and how do we welcome the king in our own lives?
