To Kiss the Son and mean it - Palm Sunday - Matthew 21:1-11, Psalm 118
April 17, 2011
Landon Palmer
Does life ever feel like a random collection of fragments of unfinished stories to you? Pieces of stories that just don't make sense when you try to put them next to each other? How can there be so much beauty and so much horror mixed up in the same world? Where can meaning and hope be found in a world like this where one minute the crowds welcome Jesus with Palms and the next minute cry out Crucify him? We take what appears to be three random fragments: The story of Palm Sunday in Matthew 21, an ancient song in Psalm 118 and a intensely introspective song by Bruce Cockburn to discover the true meaning of Palm Sunday and how to live in a world that seems to be made of fragments of stories that never resolve. You can purchase the song "Dialog with the Devil" by Bruce Cockburn on Itunes.
