Palm Sunday

-March 24, 2024-

Good Lord’s Day morning, happy Palm Sunday,

“And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Hosanna in the highest.”

Jesus made a grand but humble entry into Jerusalem. He fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9, which said, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

Everyone in the crowd was excited. They recognized that He was the Messiah, the Son of David. The people threw their clothes and palm branches on the ground before Him. They praised Him in the highest! Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies in the OT concerning the Messiah.

If this happened today, there would news media, cameras, and live coverage over the internet. Millions would watch. Foreign dignitaries would arrive from the four corners of the world. There would be press conferences at the scene.

Sadly in a matters of a couple of days, the multitudes would be saying, “Let Him be crucified!” How fickle are the hearts and minds of men! But all this happened in order that our Savior would bear our sins on the cross and die in our place. Jesus is still rejected by many today. Some may attend church on Easter but they do not know the Lord. How sad! How tragic!

Let us who know the Lord Jesus as Lord and Savior praise Him with our voices. He is so worthy! He did not just enterJerusalem, He came into our hearts! One day our King is coming to take us home to heaven. One day He will come back with us to earth to set up His kingdom.

Palm Sunday is wonderful and always falls on the Sunday before Easter. He is risen! He is risen indeed! Have a blessed Lord’s Day praising our King. Stay safe and healthy.

Praise the Lord with heart and voice, let us exalt Him and rejoice,
