Palm Sunday
Many had rejected that Jesus was the Lord but I love this because some have started to believe that He is Lord.
Many had seen the miracles that he had performed and some were with Him when Lazarus was raised from the dead.
He instructs his disciples to go into the village and find the the young donkey and when the owner ask simply say the Lord needs them.
In the Gospel of Mark, scriptures says some standing there did ask and their response was as Jesus told them to and those there let them go.
Jesus is being accepted that He is Lord and Messiah
This fulfills scripture
I love how scripture completes itself and Jesus fulfills what Zechariah spoke many years before that Jesus would come riding on a donkey, a colt.
I also love the humbleness of Jesus.
He did not come riding in with a huge entourage it was a simple donkey that our Savior came to save.
The Focus is Jesus
They take their own robes and place it on the Donkey so Jesus can sit on them.
The crowds take their robes and lay them on the road so that the donkey can walk on them.
Some are running to cut branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
All of the focus is on Jesus.
People are not thinking about what they can get from Jesus, but they are giving everything they have to Jesus.
May our posture be this when it comes to Jesus and may our worship for Jesus reflect this.
Jesus I am willing to give everything for you.
I again love the humbleness of this.
Jesus does not have the best red carpet and the greatest saddle but he has what the people had to give to enter the city.
Everything to this point did not raise any eyebrows or cause any problems with the rulers and authorities.
The people started to shout Hosanna and this starts to cause some problems.
Hosanna: Save us, we pray.
They are quoting from Psalm 118 declaring that he is the Messiah.
The word Hosanna means Save us, we pray.
The Gospel of Luke tells us that they told Jesus to tell the crowds to be quiet and not say this about him.
When the people shouted Hosanna, they were praising Christ as King.
They had finally came to grips that Christ was the Messiah.
The Messiah they longed for was someone to deliver them from their earthly situation.

Man looked for someone to fight their battles in the present day world.
Yet God had the ultimate plan of sending His Son to fight the final battle over death.
It’s interesting that some who were here welcoming Jesus to come and save them were the same ones who were mocking Jesus on the cross.
Bonus thought: If I were honest, then there are times in my life when I want God to rescue things on this earth physically and I lose the fact that Jesus defeated death for me.
My prayer this week is that I worship the victory over sin and death and not just what Jesus does for me on this earth.
Last Supper
Thursday
Crucifixion
Friday
In the Grave
Saturday
Joseph prepares the body to be buried he does not know what is going to happen.
What would the world be like without the resurrection?
What would it be like without the grace of God?
What would your future look like if Jesus had stayed in the grave?

My prayer for you this week is that you will take some time to worship Jesus on this Holy Week.
My desire is that you will see Palm Sunday today as Jesus being called the Savior He is and being worshipped.
Thursday it’s my prayer that you will reflect on the Last Supper and Jesus’s command to serve others in the way he served us.
Friday: May we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus blood being shed so that we might know the forgiveness of sin.
Jesus took the place for me.
I should have died on the cross for my sin but Jesus took my sin for me.
Saturday: Reflect and meditate on what would the future hold if Jesus had remained in the grave and let this drive your heart to gratitude for all he has done.
I pray that this leads you to connect with God and worship Jesus.
We worship Christ not just because he was meek.
And not just because he was mighty.
But because no one in history has ever united them the way he did.
Sovereign might in sacrificial meekness.
Terrible majesty through tender mercy.
Infinite lowliness because he descended from infinite heights.
Infinite worthiness because he never murmured in the pain of his appointed path.
Infinite exaltation because he perfectly finished what the infinite Father sent him to do.
