The Triumphal Entry
The day Jesus entered Jerusalem with welcoming shouts of “HOSANNA”!
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
Others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying,
Hosanna to the son of David:
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the LORD;
Hosanna in the highest.
And when He was come into Jerusalem,
all the city was moved, saying,
Who is this?
And the multitude said,
This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Matthew 21:8-11
And many spread their garments in the way:
And others cut down branches off the trees,
And strawed them in the way.
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried saying,
Hosanna;
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the LORD:
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David,
That cometh in the name of the LORD:
Hosanna in the highest.
Mark 11:8*11
And as He went, they spread their clothes in the way.
And when He was come nigh,
even now at the descent of the mount of Olives,
the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice
for all the mighty works that they had seen;
saying,
Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the LORD:
Peace in heaven, and glory on the highest.
Luke 19:36-38
On the next day much people that were come to the feast,
when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
took branches of palm trees,
and went forth to meet Him,
and cried,
Hosanna:
Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the LORD.
John 12:12-13
Father God,
Your people were expecting a conquering hero,
a king who would throw off the yoke of Roman rule
and make Israel a great country once again.
They greeted Him with shouts of acclamation.
In less than one week those shouts of acclamation
turned to
CRUIFY HIM!
Father God,
You sent a servant leader,
a suffering savior,
One who was willing to die
that we might receive eternal life.
Jesus came
to serve
to suffer
to save
PRAISE GOD!
