"As he rode into town many people began picking up branches, others pulled them from trees and laid them down in the roadway as he drew near on a donkey........Palm Sunday may be my second most favorite Sunday of the year. Of course Easter Sunday is my favorite. But Palm Sunday really means something special. For me it is the promise that Jesus sees me just as I am. That he is simple enough, strong enough, and caring enough to knowingly endure what was to come only 5 short days later. I love the story of the excitement of the crowds of people as Jesus rode into town on the donkey. As they shouted, "Hosanna! Hosanna!" Can you imagine the excitement, the joy, the peace.......
" the crowds going ahead of him, and those who followed were shouting, " Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest!" Matthew 21:9. Low the great prophecy being fulfilled! What a great Love God has for us, and also his only son, Jesus. This story is quite possibly the most exciting story in the bible. It is a love story and story of passion and of promise. I studied the meaning of the word Hosanna in the Greek and the Hebrew. The word hosanna is from the Hebrew words "Hoshiah Na! Save now! or, Save, we beseech thee!—redress our grievances, and give us help from oppression!" (Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible).,
The Easter Pageant is one of my most favorite events. When I was a little girl we use to go to Canton Lake and watch the Easter Pageant. It was so beautiful, so sad and yet so promising and fulfilling. There is no greater love story of the Heroin saving the woman in distress or the crowds from their own demise! Christ made the ultimate sacrifice and I am forever in his debt. I will serve him until the ends of this earth and beyond! For all eternity!
Do we really anticipate his return? Are we aware of the time drawing near........ I am anticipating the return of our Messiah. Jesus my palm is waving! Please do not pass over me! I am looking for you, I am watching and waiting.
Jesus,
Thank you for your gift of eternal life. Thank you for loving me when I am unlovable. Thank you for teaching me humility and grace. Please continue to restore my soul, and help me to encourage my friends in Christ to love you more and to press into you! I love you, Lord.... Amen
