Andrew Strutzenberg - God on a Donkey (29th Mar)
About this episode
Andrew Strutzenberg discusses the significance of Palm Sunday and the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion.
The weekly message from Community Church Edinburgh. This talk is from Sunday, 29th Mar 2026. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. At this point in the biblical narrative, each of the four gospel writers slow down to a sometimes granular level as they examine the final week of Jesus’ life. The story of Jesus arriving in Jerusalem riding on a donkey with large crowds shouting “Hosanna!” and waving palm leaves is already a fairly bazar story, but when you add to that the fact that within a week he was condemned by both the religious and political authorities, beaten and publicly executed, the story becomes even more full of intrigue.
