Yesterday was Palm Sunday!

• It is the Sunday before Easter, and marks the beginning of Holy Week, the week of events leading up to Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection. 

It is a great  and powerful commencement of the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem to celebrate Passover.

The Gospel records Jesus riding into the city on a donkey, being welcomed by a multitude of people, honoring Him as their long-awaited Messiah and King.

The streets became filled with palm branches, olive branches and the cloaks of the crowd as they shouted “Hosanna to the Son of David!” & “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Some Facts!:

• The donkey was a symbol of peace; those who rode upon them proclaimed peaceful intentions.
• The laying of palm branches indicated that the king or dignitary was arriving in victory or triumph!
• Donkey is the only animal that has the symbol of the cross on its back!

Lift up your voice of praise to the Lord this Week and make known to Him your welcome of Him in your life!

HE IS COMING AGAIN! Praise God! And Palm Sunday is just a reminder of the coming glory of His 2nd return!!!
