Jesus enters Jerusalem to make the Exchange for Sinners

The pure and spotless Lamb rides into the city to bring peace between heaven and earth, for he is the greater Solomon. And he is the greater sacrifice as well, for he is without sin, as everyone knew: Pilate, Pilate's wife, Judas, the chief priests and elders, the multitudes. Yet he is delivered up, in exchange for Barabbas, whose name means "son of  the father." Here we find ourselves. We are Barabbas, for we, through his offering, become sons of the Father; whereupon we embrace our Christ and gladly call him our King, lining the streets, saying, God save the King! Hosanna! Sermon for Palm Sunday.
