Entrance into...

God's advice to Moses:
take a stick and strike the rock
God's advice to JvN:
take a donkey and make an entrance













sometimes we take the courage
and make en entrance...





On Sundays - why not ? - we make an entrance-procession into our church; people are singing...  I wonder what people feel... do they know where to we go... into a New Life ?
Did you see how the couple make an entrance into their marriage (celebration) ?

Sometimes I have an entrance into my own house, into an other Egumbo, into a Village, into an event...  into a new week...   into a Celebration...    into a new space-time...
into a book...    into a group-work...  into a mystery...  into the heart of an other person...

Once I saw Pope Francis's entrance into the City of New-York (on TV)  terrible...
Once I saw High-Level-People's entrance into a Stadium (real and on TV); What are they going to do ? You remember the many entrances of all our Presidents on all our National Birthdays-Parties (like 2017 in Rundu).

Of JvN we know many entrance-stories: into the World, into his Baptism and Public-Service,
into the life of many people ...   and today: his entrance into the City of Jerusalem.

Mt (21.1-11) gives the picture:
1. All this is done to fulfil an old prophecy
2. In the past there were Kings as Rulers; now we present a new King in the name of the Jahwe-God - and some sing Hosianna and some ask what's the matter ? and some say:
the prophet JvN is really a New King...
3. Why is there by Mt more story about the donkey and the people and very less story about Jesus himself ?
4. Some turmoil... again someone who pretends to be a liberator, a new King...

We today know: every entrance is 1. a risk    2. a way to an exit  3. between entrance and exit is an Event   4. an opening to a new Life;
Resurrection is an Entrance - every day ...
