…And Jesus Makes Three

4/17/11 “Rain vs. Parade” (Sermon #6 from “…And Jesus Makes Three” series)  Texts:  Zephaniah 3:14-17; John 12:9-19 (primary text)

On that first Palm Sunday, Jesus marches his parade right into the territory of the religious leaders who held most of the power of those days, and his parade provoked a lot of rain—a lot of resistance.  Jesus’ parade marched on, however.  When the rain comes into our lives, and tries to wash us out from the parade, will we abandon Jesus (as his disciples did that first Holy Week), or will we stick with the parade?
