Preached by Rev. Erik Kindem.
Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11
Summary
The parade of followers Jesus led into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday wasn't the only one taking place that year in Jerusalem. The governor, Pontius Pilate, was at the head of another parade into the city; one with political as we as theological implications. Jesus came riding in on a donkey. Pilate's procession included war horses and soldiers with weapons. Jesus' procession is the antithesis of Pilate's autocratic motorcade. As Christians, which parade are we called to follow?
