Sixth Sunday of Lent (Used as the Liturgy of the Passion on 3/28)

Luke 19.28-40

And when he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, saying, "Go into the village opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it here. If any one asks you, `Why are you untying it?' you shall say this, `The Lord has need of it.'" So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them. And as they were untying the cold, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?" And they said, "The Lord has need of it." And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it. And as he rode along they spread their garments on the road. As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."

I love a parade ...

William Barclay points out that an ass was a noble beast in that day, ridden by kings in peacetime (vs. a horse during war). The symbolism points to Jesus as the king of peace and love. Additionally, we shouldn't forget that Jesus had a great deal of courage. It was a daring maneuver for Jesus to go parading into town when there was a price on his head, especially while asserting his kingship at the same time.
