"Jesus Davidson"
In the sermon for Palm Sunday I want to look at what it means for Jesus to be known as the "Son of David". As he rode into town in a donkey in one of the Gospel accounts people were shouting, "Hosanna, blessed is the Son of David".
I want to look at what that means that Jesus is in the lineage of David. I will take a look at the story of David and Goliath. I will have us think about the courage of Jesus and the courage of David, and the subtle influence it had on Jesus to be in the family tree that led back to David.
David was a fighter and a military leader. David was a leader of large numbers of people. Jesus was a peace maker and his influence steadily decreased the further along he got in his ministry.
What about our heritage influences us; knowingly or unknowingly? Does it matter if there are well known people in our family tree? Do we try to emulate them?
I'd like to know what you think about this. If you have thoughts on this subject write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net.

I look forward to hearing from you.
