It’s Palm Sunday! So of course, there are familiarities within some of the Gospel accounts. In all three of the Synoptics, we hear about the two disciples going on ahead and get the colt or donkey (or colt and donkey – Matthew) that have never been ridden. And we hear that the disciples are given instructions on what to say when confronted about why they are taking it. Then we hear that cloaks and coats are thrown onto the colt and then some cloaks and leafy branches are thrown onto the road while some group of people begin to chant a variation of “Hosanna! Blessed is the one that comes in the name of the Lord!” But there are a few differences that are very interesting. And maybe there’s something there for our preaching this week.
