Evening: Psalms 4, 7; Matthew 21.1–11
The symbolic messages of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem directly challenge our culture. Our queen and governors (and we ourselves at times), whatever our public claims about allegiance to the way of Jesus, ride limousines not donkeys. Authority’s trappings are pomp and circumstance not humility, sumptuousness not simplicity. Do we approve of this? Is there one thing in Jesus the King’s teaching and example about how to live that we take seriously and follow? Is it time for us to finally consider his way as a serious call rather than as a quaint, lofty ideal for which we have no appetite?
