Hosanna

Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter Sunday. What is the significance of Palm Sunday? I am sure that many people have an opinion but for me, the significance is that Palm Sunday is the day that JESUS entered into Jerusalem to a triumphant entry. The people lining the roadway put their cloaks and palm branches down so that the donkey JESUS road could walk on them. Just a few days later, these same people had changed.

It's funny how quickly people can change or turn on you. I don't know what causes some folks to project one thing and do another. There are many instances in the Bible where someone proved not to be what they proclaimed or appeared; we have all experienced the same in our own lives.

I don't want to concentrate on the negative of Palm Sunday though. As we approach Easter weekend, I am excited as I focus on the price, the sacrifice that GOD made for me. I am humbled at the suffering and humiliation that CHRIST suffered for me. I am focused on the fact that I could have never been worthy enough to be a part of GOD'S family without His plan and His sacrifice.

Today's word is Matthew 21:9, KJV, which reads, "And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the LORD; Hosanna in the highest.'"

"...Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the LORD..." JESUS is worthy of our honor, our praise, our life. After all, it is He that has given us life to begin with. It is only through GOD that we can live an abundant life here and have everlasting life in Heaven. He came to pay a price for me! He is worthy of our praise! He deserves our deepest adoration! Hosanna!

Be Blessed,
