Palm Sunday

Matthew 26.14–27.66

Context

Today’s readings give us an overview of the events to come in Holy Week. On Palm Sunday, we reflect on the events leading up to the crucifixion and remember the teachings and actions of Jesus in the previous weeks, suggesting an inevitability to today’s events.

Common thread: Life-changing conversations (Matthew 26.14–27.66)

Today, three characters from the Passion narrative reflect on the events leading up to the crucifixion, each reflecting on Jesus and the ministry that led to his death.

There is no alternative thread this week.

These resources were first published in Issue 52 March/April 2011.
