The Lenten season enters holy week this coming Sunday, April 9, 2006. Readings selected for Palm Sunday are Zechariah 9:9-10 (King coming on a donkey); Philippians 2:5-11 (Humiliation of Christ) and Mark 14 through chapter 15, verse 39. The Gospel is a total of 111 verses. It will be interesting how bulletins from the publishing house print all those verses on one page. Our work is easy this week since I have already placed on the blog two weeks ago the sermon based on the text from Mark 14:49 which reads, “I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.” It is this last phrase about the Scriptures being fulfilled that resulted in the sermon already posted. The point to be made is first one has to interpret the text prior to applying the text from a Law/Gospel point of view. Please read the previous posted sermon entitled, “Fort Wayne Seminary Sermon 3/22/06.”
