Lent 6:
The Plot Thickens - Palm Sunday
“The Plot Thickens.” The
Passion Week is thick with multilayered and complex symbolism. The characters in God’s story are not straightforward. The people who praised “Hosanna” and hailed
Jesus as the coming king may be the very ones who later shouted, “Crucify him!” Like them, we find ourselves to be deeply
complex characters within the covenant story, characters whose unredeemed
motives desires, and passions all too often drive our behavior and actions.
