Mud And Cloaks

It’s a great story. As Queen Elizabeth I was passing through Greenwich, the dashing Sir Walter Raleigh stepped forward and spread his expensive cloak over a puddle so that the monarch would not muddy her royal feet. And it’s hard for this image not to come to mind when we picture our Savior’s entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. But what took place this day, and this week, is far greater than a tale of chivalry.
