Evan Gaertner and Mike Yagley continue a discussion on Dr. Martin Luther’s Church Postil commentary on the Gospel lesson for the First Sunday of Advent – The Palm Sunday entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem.

Martin Luther challenges the listener to hear how the mission of the church is shaped by how Jesus entered into Jerusalem. The king is coming gentle and riding on a beast of burden, carrying your burdens. The reason this king is coming is to lead you into the kingdom of God.
