FAITH LUTHERAN       WEEKLY


Week of Sunday,  April 13
2014

The gospel for Palm Sunday takes us from the parade into Jerusalem with shouts of "Hosanna" to the parade to the cross with shouts of agony and grief.  Matthew 26:14 begins with the words of Judas who asks the chief priests, "What will you give me if I betray him [Jesus] to you?"

 

As we begin this most holiest and solemn of weeks in the Christian church, we are invited to ponder the question of Judas in our own time.  Will we betray Jesus by ignoring our neighbors for the price of a mind uncluttered by suffering?  Will we betray Jesus by ignoring his teachings of peace and life-giving love for the price of an "easier" life? As for Judas, he was willing to betray his friend and Lord for thirty pieces of silver.  For what are we willing to betray our Lord?

INTRODUCTION

Today's liturgy begins with a palm procession, commemorating Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Quickly the tone of the service changes as we meditate upon Jesus' passion and death. Because this story is so central to our faith, we hear Matthew's account of the passion today and John's version on Good Friday. Though Jesus is obedient even unto death on the cross, he is exalted by God. We gather to remember his offering for the life of the world, and to be fed by his life-giving mercy. This holy week will culminate in the celebration of the Three Days of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection.
