Palm Sunday, A.D. 33
28And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29When he drew near to Bethpage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. 33And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. 37As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.” (Luke 19:28-40, ESV)

However, the text carefully notes that not everyone was pleased at the people’s loud praise directed towards Jesus. “Teacher, rebuke your disciples,” said a few of Pharisees in the crowd (Luke 19:39). The religious leaders of the Jewish people were indignant at Christ for stealing the spotlight. Either Jesus would silence the crowd or these Pharisees and religious leaders would figure out a way to silence him. Something had to give. John’s account tells us: “So the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him’” (John 12:19). The Pharisees knew that they had to act quickly. Things were getting out of hand. The Romans wouldn’t tolerate this tumult very long. The time to rub out this radical rabbi was finally at hand.
Dear God,
Open the eyes of my heart this week to behold the glory of Christ Jesus’ agony. Expose my true motivation in remembering these sacred events which transpired so many years ago. Help me, O Savior, to have a voice which magnifies your holy name rather than demands my own glory and praise. Grant and strengthen me with the gift of faith in order that I might not only crown thee Lord of life but that I might follow thee by taking up my own cross. “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD. The LORD is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us” (Psalm 118:26-27a). Amen.
