What Kind of Savior Do You Need?


by Rev. Malcolm G. Smith

Type of Event: Worship Service: Family (may include music)

Date Recorded: March 24, 2024

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Topics: Easter / Palm Sunday

Groups: Easter Season, Palm Sunday Services

When Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday the people cheered and cried out for Him to save them. They were hoping that a king of the natural world was riding into town to throw off their Roman oppressors. That wasn’t what the Lord was there to do but He was there to save them. If a powerful person could ride into your life and change things drastically, what would you want them to do? Maybe the Lord won’t do that, but what sort of spiritual salvation could He give you?

This year we will have two identical services, both in the nave (there will be no Young Children’s or Informal Family Service in the Undercroft). There will be one talk for the whole family. At the end of the service, people will be invited to pick up palm branches on their way out of the building to then form a crowd outside and an actor playing the Lord will come past with a live donkey, while people sing and cheer.
