They brought (the colt) to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Luke 19:33–38
One of the high moments of the week before Jesus’ death is his Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. This is a moment full of tension: Jesus enters the city as the ancient Jewish Kings would have done – He enters the city in a way that reflects the prophecy of the coming Messiah. And yet, He is not the coming King that Israel expects. He has come to suffer rather than to rule. He has not come to overthrow Rome, He has come to die at the hand of Rome. And yet, His suffering and death wins a victory greater than anyone could have imagined.
Our spring community art exhibit will take place in the three weeks prior to Easter. It will end on Palm Sunday, the day we remember Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. Our invitation for our artists is to consider the theme of Jesus’ authority as the King of Kings, the suffering servant who has become the cornerstone — the King whose reign will never come to an end.
If you are a poet or painter, if you sketch, quilt, sculpt, or create any other form of visual or written art, we would invite you to share your work with us! This will be an informal show, on display in our lobby and auditorium for three weeks. If children or families wish to participate, they are also welcome to do so. There is no skill level required for participation — we simply want to receive our community's creative reflection on Jesus, our King who gave his life for us.
