Richard Rohr writes this of Palm Sunday in Radical Grace:
The supreme irony of the whole crucifixion scene is this: He, who was everything, had everything taken away from him. He, who was the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, was crowned with thorns. He is the eternal sign of God to humans, yet his arms were nailed open because he said in his life three most dangerous words: “I love you.”
What is powerful is realizing that Jesus is entering into Jerusalem through one gate, entering as the Prince of Peace, while Pilate is entering through another gate, entering as the military man and power that he was: the Prince of War.
In the middle of Jerusalem these two would meet, head to head, heart to heart, body to body.
The pilgrimage is on...
Pace!
