God, that wasn't what we meant!

This next Sunday is Psalm Sunday. It seems a natural extension of this term's series on prayer to consider the prayer that the crowds offered as Jesus made his way into Jerusalem, and how God answered it in the way that they least expected and certainly hadn't intended. I hope that you'll pick up something of the tension as Jesus entered between the two authorities ruling Jerusalem, and how he responded to what was almost a nationalistic cry against foreign occupation with a rescue package for all nationalities.
