Let the Hosannas Be Bigger & Louder!
John 12:13 tells us this about that first Palm Sunday: "So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” (ESV) When Jesus rode into Jerusalem, many there thought the Roman occupiers were their core problem, their existential threat, their preeminent emergency. However, their real preeminent emergency was sin and death and eternal separation from God! And yes, Jesus was coming to their rescue; He was the answer! But Jesus' triumphal ride into Jerusalem wasn't just to be Israel's Savior and King, but to be the Savior and King of those from every nation, tribe, and tongue! Yay, even King of kings and Lord of lords! So is that what He is to you?
