Dear Friends,

As Jesus approached Jerusalem for the last time, He entered on the Day we call Palm Sunday. John tells us…Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: 'Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.' Matthew wrote, A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted (from all four gospels), 'Hosanna to the Son of David!', 'Blessed is he who, comes in the name of the Lord!', 'Blessed is the king of Israel!', 'Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!', 'Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!', 'Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!', 'Hosanna in the highest heaven!'.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, Who is this?. The crowds answered, This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee. Those who had gathered to welcome Jesus on that Sunday did not have a clear understanding of who He was, so by Friday, the crowd that gathered at His trial, cried out, Crucify him!

We, who will gather together for worship this coming Sunday, DO have a clear understanding of who He is. He is our SAVIOR, LORD, and SOON COMING KING! We not only proclaim this truth with our lips, but we live out His lordship through our lives, DAILY! Join me this Sunday for an amazing service of worship through song, testimonies, and communion. This service will prepare us as we enter into Passion Week.
