"There is an inner as well as an outer Jerusalem, and that therefore the events of Holy Week are both about Jesus' outward, visible and historical entry into Jerusalem and what he did there and then, and also about his entry into the inner Jerusalem, the 'seething holy city' as I have called it, of our own hearts. ...We have our own gates, walls and watchtowers, that somewhere within us there is both a temple and a seat of judgement, and both might need to be challenged and cleansed.
Can I invite Jesus into all of that? And if I do, what will happen?"
- from The Word in the Wilderness, by Malcolm Guite
