Palm Sunday

Posted on April 5, 2020 by mitchteemley

“Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD.”

~Psalm 118:26

Blessed is He

On Palm Sunday people celebrated who they wanted Jesus to be.

The following week they tried to silence forever who He was.

Thank God they failed.

    Ah, I love this. Humanity’s failure has been Christ’s success. Happy (Convicting) Palm Sunday!

    This morning our pastor reminded us, via Livestreaming, that they wanted a king, but they really needed the King of kings and a Perfect Sacrifice. Amen to your post.

    An excellent point. I hadn’t thought of it that way before.

    True, there should be a “love” button!
    Short post, but shoots right through the heart of your readers.

    Actually, the crowds did NOT turn on Jesus. They awoke to find that the crucifixion was a done deal. The “crowds” in Pilate’s hall were the Temple personnel who had a vested interest in shutting Jesus up. It was an eye-opener for me when I learned the material that I condensed into this post: https://cslonthebible.wordpress.com/2017/04/13/from-hosanna-to-crucify-him/

    I never thought of it that way, Great post Mitch. This is definitely a very different Holy Week, perhaps people will take the time to reflect on the true meaning. Have a blessed week.

    Hmm, well put. Are we created in His image, or have we created Him in OUR image?
    I guess I need to keep seeking divine perspective, or I’ll end up believing a lie.
