And many spread their clothes on the
road, and others cut down leafy
branches from the trees and spread
them on the road. Then those who went
before and those who followed cried
out, saying: "Hosanna! "'Blessed is He
who comes in the name of the Lord!'
( Mark 11:8-9 *NKJV )
Dear Addison,
Jesus' final week of His Earthly Ministry began with
Him riding a donkey colt into the City and thus His
triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Thus fulfilling the
Prophecy of Zechariah, "Rejoice greatly,
O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of
Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you;
He is just and having salvation, Lowly and riding
on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.
( Zechariah 9:9 )
Remember, this was Sunday of the same week that
Jesus would be crucified, and the great Passover Festival
was about to begin! Jews came to Jerusalem from all
over the Roman Empire during this week-long celebration,
to worship and remember the great Exodus from Egypt.
( Exodus 12:37-51 ) The same people who cried out
"Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name
of the Lord! changed their cries to; "Crucify Him, crucify
Him!" before the week was over.
( Mark 11:9 & John 19:6 )
So on this Palm Sunday we reflect on Christ's last
few days in human form, and what a great price HE paid
for our sins! For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. For God did not send His Son
into the world to condemn the world, but that
the world through Him might be saved.
( John 3:16-17 )
What a tremendous price and sacrifice that was!
This is a true demonstration of how very much our
Heavenly Father loves each one of us!
So Addison, why not pause for a moment or two and
Thank our Savior for what HE did for you, and me,
and the rest of HIS Children as well. Why not also
attend the Church of your choice, and tell HIM how
much you love HIM, for that will make HIS Day!
All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
