About this episode
The episode discusses the conflicting understandings of power represented by two processions during the first Palm Sunday.
On the first Palm Sunday, two processions came into Jerusalem with conflicting understandings of power. One believed in the peace of Rome of peace through strength. The other was embodied by Jesus of peace through presence. The Passion narrative puts those two understandings on full display - a peace through violence, and a peace in spite of violence. The sermon is based on John 18-19.
