Full to the Brim: Even the Stones Cry Out, Luke 19:28-40, Dr. Brad Clayton

<p>As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the multitude of disciples begins to joyfully shout with praise. The Pharisees try to silence them, but Jesus responds: "I tell you, even if these were silent, the stones would shout out." All of creation cries out with praise--the message rises above the noise, even if the oppressive powers want to silence it. As we begin our walk through Holy Week, let us ask: What can't be silenced? What must be said? What things can we not stay quiet about? What is bubbling up that we need to give voice to--faith questions, apologies, issues of justice, truth-telling? As we go deeper into the story, the truth will soon be set free.</p>
