Royal Entrance

Royal Entrance
RUT WHEN the time came, Jesus
- did declare himself king in a
spectacular way We know the
story as the ''Triumphal Entry in.
to jerusalem" the story Of Palm
Sunday. now so fresh in our minds.
Jesus lived in a nation Of people
who were familiar with the mean
ing Of symbols. both in word and
action.
When Jesus rode into the
ancient capital where his fore
fathers reigned, astride q mule
colt, the people knew, and he
knew they would know, that this
was not just somebody riding
. mule on Sunday morning. In
the history Of the Hebrews,
mules we're the steeds Of kings.
King Solomon was crowned riding
on mule. There was a famous
prophecy Czech. $50 that when
Jerusalem's great king should
come. he would be riding on just
such royal steed. So when Jesus
rode into Jerusalem. the people
threw their palm branches and
shouted their welcome, not to the
teacher and prophet. but to the
King.
Tears in Triumph
TT WAS NOT altogether a VIC
= torious occasion. Jesus knew
too well how cheap and easy dem
onstrations" can be. In his minds
eye he could see a cross standing
outside Jerusalem, and in his inner
ear he could hear this same dusty
throated mob. now shouting
"Hosanna!". yelling instead
Cruelty him!" Tears stood in
Jesus eyes. But they were not
tears for himself; he never wasted
energy in self-pity. They were
tears for that blind city. tears for
Its coming destruction - the city
that did not know the way to peace.
Master of the Temple
nOLDER THAN JESUS triumphal
- entry was what he did inside
the city. It was one thing to claim
royal rights over the nation; but
at the temple Jesus claims reached
far higher. 1t should be remem-
bered that in the eyes Of all Jews
at that time the Temple was abso-
lutely sacred. 1t represented the
dwelling-place of the invisible God.
Now the priests at that time were
more profiteers and politicians than
priests They carried on what to-
day we call racket" in the sale
OF animals for sacrifice and in
changing the ordinary money Of all
countries into the local Jewish
shekel Tin which coin alone could
temple offerings be paid
The racket was notorious;
every decent Jew hated the
priestly profiteers. But no one
had ever done anything about
1t. for that would mean assum-
Ing An authority over the temple
that no man dared to assume.
But Jesus took it on himself His
direct and even violent action in
smashing the racketeering ring was
mark of something more than
ordinary self-confidence. He laid
claim to being no less than the
Master of Gods Temple. He was
acting in the name of God and with
the authority of God.
Master of Man
WHEN THE CHRISTIAN church
w calls Jesus Lord and King"
today. we are making no claim for
him which he did not make for him.
self. What we mean by these titles
is that Jesus Christ, for us and for
all men, is the authority above all

To Cook Riceland Rice: Put
1 cup of Riceland Rice, 1 tea

water in a large saucepan and
cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Set over a hot flame until It
boils vigorously. Then reduce
the heat as low as possible and

during which time the water
will be absorbed, making the
rice deliciously tender. Remove
the lid, permit the rice to steam
dry to the desired consistency
and the grains will be separate
