Today in Worship… we encounter Jesus not in Triumphal Entry, as may be expected on Palm Sunday. Instead, as we walk through John’s Gospel, we are in John 18:28-19:16, as Jesus stands before Pilate. Here the one on whom judgment falls, becomes the Judge. Jesus’ authority is pronounced while the religious and state authority is found wanting. This passage gives us great hope to engage our world, knowing that Christ’s kingdom is not of this world. We behold the man (19:5) and king (19:14) who will be judged for us, all the while, we, like the crowds, clamor for another one to rule over us.
