Behind Palm Sunday | Matthew 21:1-11 with Dr. Chris Croghan

How is the whole world implicated in killing Jesus? What does it mean that Jesus has mercy on us? Why is the gospel writer using so much description? 

This week, Luther House of Study’s co-director, Dr. Chris Croghan, joins the podcast to talk about Palm Sunday’s text: Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey and colt.  

You’ll hear Adam, Kiri, and Mason ask questions like: 

-What’s the significance of the Mount of Olives? 

-Why was Palm Sunday changed to Palm Passion Sunday? 

-Why did naming Jesus as king get him crucified?
