Palm Sunday -- 03-28-2010 -- God’s Unlikely Revolution

Readings: Isaiah 50:4-9a Psalm31:9-16 Philippians 2:5-11 Luke 19:28-40 (from the Procession with Palms Liturgy) Luke 22:14-23:56 Luke has continually pointed throughout his gospel to a coming upheaval in the world, poor being lifted up and the mighty being cast down from their thrones.  Jesus' entry into Jerusalem is the procession to his coronation as king.  Like Jehu in 2Kings, Jesus will seek to overthrow the foreign occupying power, but it not be the earthly power of Rome, but the power of sin that Jesus will unseat.
