Happy Palm Sunday!

 

Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter that begins the Holy Week. It is the day that we remember and celebrate the day Jesus entered into Jerusalem as Savior and King. As Jesus rode a donkey into the town of Jerusalem a large crowd gathered and laid palm branches and their cloaks across the road, giving Jesus royal treatment. The hundreds of people shouted "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"

Palm branches were a symbol of power and victory over enemies.The people were trying to make Jesus as "the warrior King", but Jesus was arriving as "the King of peace," not taking up a battle against Rome but instead, a war against the wages of sin and death.

"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!" -Psalm 118:26

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." -Romans 10:9
