Paul, Robert, and Liz continue their conversation about learning from Jesus in his passion.
"Contrary to the typical pictures on a Sunday school wall, Jesus comes down the hill on Palm Sunday weeping – the word is actually closer to 'wailing.' In our experience of humanity, people who wail and warrior kings are never the same person, but Jesus is a wailing warrior king. His heart is filled sadness over what his people will suffer, and he will fight to the death for them."
"There's a pattern of action that we see throughout the Bible – seeing is the beginning of action.""We see this pattern in the prayers of the Psalms ('Lord, see what I'm doing, look down from heaven'), and in God's response in situations, ('I've seen the travail of my people and I've come down…'). Most human action begins with seeing. And so, we see here with Jesus, it is seeing the city that moves him to tears. He doesn't use his divinity to see it over the hill two miles out. Jesus reacts in the situation, just like you and me."
