For Sunday, March 28, 2021
John 12:13 NIV: “The crowd took palm branches and went out to meet Jesus, shouting, ‘Hosanna!’ ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Blessed is the king of Israel!’”
Happy Palm Sunday! This day isn’t so much about what Jesus did as it is about the people finally realizing WHO Jesus is! A Messiah had been prophesied for quite some time, so some some had their eyes open to the possibility that Jesus was the One.
And that day all the pieces fell into place. Spontaneously, a celebration erupted in the streets. People cut palm branches and lined the pathway. People decorated the parade route with bright cloth. The true “King of the Jews” was riding through town, and everybody wanted to see it! You could not have stopped this celebration! Jesus said, “If the crowd kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
This Son of God could forgive sins and grant mankind eternal fellowship in the Heavenly Kingdom, and that’s Good News!
Blessings and safety this Sabbath!
