"They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting, 'Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel!'" John 12:13
THE countdown is on...
I'm not referring to the countdown to the school play, nor Spring Break, nor the the finals in
March Madness, but THE countdown of all countdowns. The countdown in
remembering Jesus' final week on earth.
The countdown that sealed forever my future. Through His death, burial,
and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, purchasing for ALL who
believe in Him, eternal life in Christ Jesus
I wonder how Jesus felt His last week on earth? After His triumphant entrance into Jerusalem,
life took a dramatic turn. Did He
understand what would happen? Yes. Did
His disciples? On Sunday, the palm
branches are swaying with shouts of "Hosanna", and by the end of the
week shouts of "crucify Him" by the same lips.
With joy comes tears. With thanks comes humbleness. Let's walk down the path in hand with Jesus this week with
grateful hearts, as we remember His sacrifice and unconditional love for us.
Hosanna, to God in the highest! Thanks be to God!
friend, we are loved and chosen by God,
