Palm Sunday

Today is Palm Sunday. Unfortunately, I didn't get to church this morning. I thought it would be best to just lay low for one more day.

I am feeling MUCH better! I slept most of the night last night and don't have much pain this morning. God is awesome! He listens to the prayers of his believers!

So the significance of Palm Sunday is that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt, while people laid their cloaks and branches on the road for him to pass over. The whole time they were saying, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!"

People of Jesus' time knew there was something significant about him. They knew he was different from everybody else, but they didn't fully understand how he could be a king to save us all. It is a challenging concept to fully grasp.

In a couple of days it is going to be Good Friday. It seems almost like an oximoron to call the day that Jesus was crusified "good," but it really was a good day. He took my place. He took your place. He took the place of all those who believe! What a good day! Focus on his life as a sacrifice, so that we may spend eternity in heaven!
