BibleWorm

BibleWorm reads the Palm Sunday text, Mark 11:1-11 with the story of Jesus overturning tables in the Temple added in for good measure. We talk about the symbolism of Jesus riding a donkey and how the shouts of Hosanna mingle praise and desperation. We wonder why Jesus curses a fig tree instead of commanding it to produce figs and wrestle with Jesus’s anger toward the money changers. We also read the story of a woman anointing Jesus with nard in Mark 14:1-9 and marvel at the way Jesus validates her gift to him. We also make some really bad jokes—but you’ve come to expect that by now.
