It’s Palm Sunday!
Today is Palm Sunday!
It’s the day we remember and celebrate Jesus’ Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem.
Humbly riding a donkey, He declared Himself King of Israel, in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy which stated:
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!
Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,
righteous and victorious,
lowly and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9:9 NIV
He did this not for His own glory, but so that we would all know Who He is in the hopes that we would be reconciled to God and saved from sin.
As Jesus rode into Jerusalem the people expressed their adoration, praise, and joy by crying, “Hosanna!”
We should join them in celebrating and declaring:
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Luke-19-38 NIV
Today also marks the beginning of Holy Week as we remember Jesus and the tribulations He suffered as He became our Living Sacrifice.
I hope you will take time this week to prayerfully reflect on Christ and what He did for you..
