(ESV)\n\n As we begin this new Church Year, we are preparing to\n celebrate the incarnation of Jesus Christ, who was conceived by\n the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He was born so to\n ride into Jerusalem during the governorship of Pontius Pilate, to\n be crucified as the worst of criminals, and to rise again from\n the dead. By reading of the events of Palm Sunday on the first\n Sunday in Advent, we confess that Jesus came in our place to bear\n our sin and be our Savior.\n\n There were faithful Jewish people from all over the known\n world who journeyed to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. Many of\n these pilgrims recognized Jesus as the Messiah. They reacted to\n Jesus directing His disciples to obtain a donkey colt so that He\n would enter into the city on the back of this beast of burden.\n\n The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.\n They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them\n their cloaks, and he sat on them. Most of the crowd\n spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut\n branches from the trees and spread them on the road.\n\n\n Although Jesus humbly rode into the city, the crowds\n announced His arrival. They expected to see some great works,\n some miracles, or maybe the final confrontation in which the\n forces of Rome would be expelled from the land and the Kingdom\n restored to the heirs of David and Solomon. What they saw,\n several days later, was the bruised, tortured, wounded body of\n Jesus hanging lifeless on the cross as a strange darkness lay\n over the whole world.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith and wisdom to understand His\n first coming has redeemed us from sin and death. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"December 3, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4130"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4131,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4130\/revisions\/4131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
