Sudden Downturn in the Polls

And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:  Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

Mark 11:9-10

"And when they had mocked him,
they took off the purple from him,
and put his own clothes on him,
and led him out to crucify him."

Quotes & Notes

  • The messianic images (son of David, eschatalogical prophet and man of God, Lord and divine man) are predicable of Jesus only because, and precisely because, he is the crucified One.

    • - Reginald H. Fuller, Preaching the Lectionary
  • When our Lord proclaimed the atonement finished, the stroke of his power smote three realms;  the realm of grace, of nature, and of death.  In the first, the temple's vail was rent, indicatively of the departure of the old dispensation and its nullity at the approach of the new.  In the second, the erth was rent, indicating that the same power would destroy and renew again the face of nature.  In the third, the dead rose from their open graves, indicating that the dominion of the destroyer should be destroyed, and the human race be raised from his power to a complete resurrection. - D.D. Whedon, Commentary
  • In all the Gospels the actual crucifixion is narrated in the most straightforward manner and with marked restraint.  Our Lord's physical sufferings are not dwelt upon, for nothing is gained by gruesomeness.  Moreover, the physical pain was only secondary to the bitter desolation of spirit which he experienced because of sin.  - C.E. Graham Swift, New Bible Commentary
  • The mocking by the Roman soldiers emphasizes again the real political element in the charges against Jesus.  He was executed as a potential revolutionist.

    • - Lindsey P. Pherigo, Interpreter's One-Volume Commentary
  • On verse 31 - Thereby claiming God as his God;  and yet lamenting his Father's withdrawing the tokens of his love, and treating him as an enemy, while he bare our sins.  -John Wesley, Notes Upon the New Testament

    Bill's Starting Point
     
    The Best Part About Being Crucified

    "And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, 
    and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him."  Mark 15:20
    The best part about being crucified is the opportunity to love. 

    This theme is woven into these events: 

       1. Triumphal Entry 
       2. Holy Week Activities 
       3. Passion 
    Through these passages of scripture, we are invited to look beyond the pain and the shame of our personal crosses and embrace the joyful opportunities for life and love inherit, not only as a result, but even within the cross itself. 

    This is what I'm preaching to myself about:

    Through the Lenton Season, the emphasis has been on the joy and 
    intrinsic reward of taking up our own personal crosses and following 
    Christ.  The theme has started to shift already to emphasize the cross 
    of Christ, and culminates with our focus in the Passion Liturgy on the 
    literal event.  I'm trying to get my mind to see the cross from Jesus' 
    vantage point as a good thing, the way I've been preaching our own 
    crosses.  Whether we look at His cross or our own, our natural 
    inclination is to find it a horribly painful and repulsively senseless 
    route, a direction to be avoided at any cost.  But the call of Christ as 
    I hear it through these lections is to embrace the cross as more 
    wonderfully glorious, valuable, and life giving than any other direction 
    or experience could afford. 

    I know we'll exchange it someday for a crown, and that's good... that 
    will definitely be included in the sermon (my favorite subject is heaven 
    :)  But... is the joy and hope of the cross only in the after-life, or 
    even only in the after-cross?  We're already anticipating the 
    Resurrection, just as daily we are anticipating the next day when 
    today's cross is behind us (but another pops up for the new day).  Where 
    is the glory intrinsic to the cross -- the fulfillment within the 
    event?  And I mean, for the cross bearer.  Maybe if we can see more of 
    the "part he liked about it"  in the cross of Jesus, we can enjoy our 
    own daily crosses a little more. 

    And the worst part about being crucified:  "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"
