Join Profs. Rolf Jacobson, Jennifer Pietz, and Alan Padgett as they discuss Luke 19:29-44 for April 13, 2025. In this episode, our theological experts explore Jesus' arrival at Jerusalem—his "triumphal entry" riding on a donkey—and his heartfelt lament over the city.

The conversation highlights how Luke's narrative fulfills the Messianic promises from earlier in the gospel, with Jesus explicitly declared as "king" through the adaptation of Psalm 118:26. The hosts reflect on what kind of king Jesus reveals himself to be—not one who seeks political or military power, but one who weeps over rejection and prepares to lay down his life.

Key topics include: - The cultural context of ancient processionals welcoming dignitaries - Jesus' humble approach on a donkey contrasting with worldly power - The emotional weight of Jesus' lament over Jerusalem - The prophetic vision of Jerusalem's destruction and humanity's resistance to peace - Palm Sunday celebrations and their significance across different Christian traditions

Whether you're preparing for Palm Sunday or exploring the paradoxical nature of Christ's kingship, this discussion offers valuable insights for sermon preparation and Bible study.
