If I am to agree with your point of view on the original use of the palms, they were at best a misunderstanding of who Jesus was - the Prince of PEACE (instead of war). But can our current use of the palms symbolize exactly that - not a triumphant warlord king, but the Servant King?<br /><br />And much as we have subverted the cross, the very symbol of terrible execution, to be for us a symbol of salvation, can we not, too subvert the palms into a sign of the Servant King?Brian Vinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221972114141282402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-18741240706925286052013-03-26T09:39:22.495-07:002013-03-26T09:39:22.495-07:00A rather jaundiced way of interpreting Scripture.A rather jaundiced way of interpreting Scripture.Br G-Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477600881751721404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-1107475220737034462013-03-26T03:01:18.159-07:002013-03-26T03:01:18.159-07:00Thanks Keith, this is a very different way of look...Thanks Keith, this is a very different way of looking at those events in Judaea 2000 years ago.<br /><br />We need to see almost everything about the church in a different way, we need to understand everything as the Almighty intends it, not as we might wish it!Chris Jefferieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024046243018838005noreply@blogger.com
