Palm Sunday
Listen to the recording I made for Palm Sunday last year, and a conversation about the detailed meaning and story of it.
Palm Sunday | Matthew 21: 1-11
As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethlehem at the Mount of Olives. There Jesus sent two of the disciples on ahead
with these instructions: “Go to the village there ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied up with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to me.
And if anyone says anything, tell him, ‘The Master needs them’; and then he will let them go at once.”
This happened in order to make come true what the prophet had said:
“Tell the city of Zion,
Look, your king is coming to you!
He is humble and rides on a donkey
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”So the disciples went and did what Jesus had told them to do:
they brought the donkey and the colt, threw their cloaks over them, and Jesus got on.
A large crowd of people spread their cloaks on the road while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
The crowds walking in front of Jesus and those walking behind began to shout, “Praise to David’s Son! God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise be to God!”
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was thrown into an uproar. “Who is he?” the people asked.
“This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee,” the crowds answered.
In this episode, Sophie Spital and I discuss the story of the resurrection and the important of that story. I hope you enjoy this discussion and also hope you all have a good Easter.
That was just what I needed today, thank you.
Your narration and the background music worked very well.
I liked the explanation of the symbolism of the Palm and the donkey and the mention of the context in relation to the Old Testament prophecy.
None of these things I knew before though I have heard the story many times.
