This Saturday, we will look at the story of Palm Sunday - the beginning of Holy Week, when we commemorate the entry into Jerusalem by Jesus and his followers. This parade gets a lot of attention, and it does so partly by confusing people. Jesus doesn't precisely meet anyone's expectations–not the authorities in Jerusalem, not the crowds watching, not even his disciples. Even a phrase often used by today's Christians to describe this procession - the "triumphal entry" - fails to capture the strangeness of this moment. Who is this Jesus, and what is really going on in this parade? And what does the story's strangeness mean for followers of Jesus today? We will explore some possible interpretations while also allowing it to remain a bit of a mystery.
