The mercy of God is a sovereign mercy. “I will have mer-cy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion” (Rom. 9:15). But here is the point we see on Palm Sunday: This sovereign Christ weeps over the hard-hearted, perishing people of Jerusalem as they fulfilled his plan. It is unbiblical and wrong to make the tears of ...
Jonathan Parnell For centuries, the church has memorialized the first day of Holy Week as Palm Sunday because of the palm branches and cloaks that the people spread out before Jesus as he entered Jerusalem. The Gospel writers tell us a crowd gathered, gushing with excitement, and lined the road in front of Jesus as he slowly rode into the city. As ...
But actually, it wasn’t the salvation part that was the prob-lem so much as the way Jesus would bring salvation. The people wanted salvation and success, remember. Which means, they wanted the Messiah to march into the city and do hard business with Rome. They wanted to be free from Gentile oppression, even if by force, even if by threats and plagu...
From the perspective of the chief priests, scribes, and Jewish leaders, it was one thing for this teacher from the backwaters of Nazareth to share his stories and make his claims and do his miracles with his followers. But now he was inside the Holy City. He had entered the gates like he was the new David or the new Solomon. And now he has the auda...
And here is the lesson for us on this Monday of Holy Week, or really, here is the question: How well does our worship prefigure the prophetic vision of the new creation? Do our relational investments and our corporate gatherings reflect, even in a small way, the heart of a God who gathers the outcasts? This question is no more relevant than on East...
With another tension-filled day behind them, Jesus and the disciples begin to head back to Bethany. They stop on the Mount of Olives to rest, giving them a wonderful view of Jerusalem as the sun begins to set behind it in the west. The disciples marvel at the size and the grandeur of these impres-sive buildings, but Jesus tells them that a day is s...
Jesus wakes again just outside Jerusalem, in Bethany, where he has been staying at the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. His teaching again attracts a crowd in the temple. But now the Jewish leaders, silenced by Jesus the day before, will leave him be. Today they will avoid public confrontation and instead connive in private. Caiaphas, the high pr...
Hebrews 5:7 says, “Jesus ofered up prayers and supplica-tions, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.” If “save his soul from death” does not mean, “Remove this cup from me,” what does it mean? For he was certainly 2 Jonathan Edwards, “Christ’s Agony,” sermon available onlin...
A bright irony on this darkest of days is that the men who step forward to claim the corpse of the Christ for burial are not family members or disciples. They are members of the Sanhedrin: Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. It is one more unexpected thread of grace woven into this tap-estry of redemption. They quickly wrap Jesus’s body in a sheet a...
Yet, with all these qualifiers, this was a real forsaking. Jesus did not merely feel forsaken. He was forsaken; and not only by his disciples, but by God himself. It was the Father who had delivered him up to Judas, to the Jews, to Pilate, and finally to the cross itself. And now, when he had cried, God had closed his ears. The crowd had not stoppe...
Marshall Segal Holy Week waits in relative silence on Saturday. The tomb has been sealed, the guards stand watch, the disciples like-ly hide in confusion, fear, and devastation. And the Savior lies lifeless, having surrendered all to save his people from their sins. How would you process the horrors of the last couple of days in the quiet, disturbi...
It’s envy and hatred and ignorance. How could they be so deceived and manipulated and corrupt to give the Son of God over to death and spare a known murderer? Pilate knew that what they were demanding was wrong, that Jesus was innocent. He wanted no part or role in his execu-tion. But these people, filled with unbelief, with rebellious hearts, with...
This is sin, to reject Jesus, to declare he is nothing but a delusional or deceitful man. And this was the condition of our heart, when filled with unbelief, we rejected God, his Son, and his sacrifice. We have screamed, “Crucify him!” with our unfaithfulness and disobedience. We have said with the crowd, “He is not our King!” “He is not our Mes-si...
So, now, we say with an entirely diferent meaning, let his blood be on us, not defiantly as the crowds that crucified him, but desperately—with gratitude and hope and adora-tion—as those who depend wholly on his sacrifice. Jesus, let your blood be on us. Let it cover us. Let the blood that flows from your head, your hands, your feet wash over us an...
Tony Reinke Like children scattering around a yard for Easter eggs, you and I are on a hunt. We all hunt. Our thirsty souls rummage through every nook and cranny of this world, in search of shiny pleasures and saccharine delights. Every such joy seeker, in pursuit of treasures that will not fade or rust or break or be stolen, must pay careful atten...
If the killing of the Author of life could not extinguish this joy Jesus speaks about, nothing can—and nothing ever will. No opposition from the world, no opposition to the gospel, and no cultural despising of Christ will over-come the resurrection joy of Jesus. As we have seen this week, the unquenchable joy of Eas-ter was birthed in the greatest ...
But as magnificently as this joy entered the world in this defining moment in cosmic history, this joy presses close to us. So Jesus taught his disciples to ask and seek for more of this joy. This is the open invitation of the Messianic age. And this joy makes sense of the logic of John’s Gospel. Jesus said he must die and go to the Father, and wou...
Indeed, even agony will turn to glory, but Easter doesn’t suppress our pain. It doesn’t minimize our loss. It bids our burdens stand as they are, in all their weight, with all their threats. And this risen Christ, with the brilliance of inde-structible life in his eyes, says, “These too I will claim in the victory. These too will serve your joy. Th...
Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week. It is the first day of Jesus final week in Jerusalem. Today is called Palm Sunday because when Jesus journeyed along the road to Jerusalem from Bethpage, crowds of people welcomed Jesus by laying down palm branches and their coats on the ground as a way to honor Him. Let’s put ourselves in the ...

It’s what we have always done. It’s been pretty much a given that Christians start down the road to Holy Week by shaking greenery in the direction ...
Apr 5, 2020 · It’s the language of prayer. The LXX uses the Greek word soson (save) which is turned into hosanna in the NT texts (same meaning). Keep in mind that this typical Palm Sunday exclamation of prayer and praise is rooted in this portion of Psalm 118. Psalm 118:26 is specifically cited in Matthew 21:9. More about this when we examine Matthew 21 below.
