Palm Sunday- the day we celebrate when the time came for Jesus to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey while people waved palm branches, laid cloaks on the road and shouted "hosanna".The Donkey- We must trust God's Word
Everything was just as God told Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9) it would be hundreds of years before Jesus actually entered Jerusalem.
Jesus told his disciples they were to go into the town and they would find a donkey tied to a door and the disciples found a donkey just as Jesus said.
The Palm Branches- We must see Jesus as the King...He is above all things.
Palm branches were the national symbol of Israel. In essence it was like them waving the stars and stripes of the American Flag. By doing this they were showing that they believed Jesus is the King. Jesus is the King but He did not come to knock over the government and say that we are not supposed to listen to those in authority but He is over all things...government, circumstances, problems, people, etc. and we can trust Him.
Also, palm branches were used to make the booths for festivals and such. The people used them to celebrate with.
The Cloaks- We must honor Jesus with all that we have been given.
The people put their cloaks that they had made with their own hands to wear on the ground for the donkey to ride upon. Culture said that important people must walk upon covered ground. It is like the RED CARPET for MOVIE STARS or precious runner rugs for ROYALTY to walk upon. They saw Jesus as their long awaited King...the MESSIAH..and wanted to honor him!
The "Hosanna" Shout- We must Hope in Jesus
"Hosanna" was a Hebrew prayer saying, "Lord, save us!". When the people shouted this they were proclaiming that they needed help and they knew Jesus could and would help them. When they saw Jesus ride through Jerusalem they saw hope. When we know Jesus, we know HOPE.
...AND we praise God for His son Jesus and the HOPE we have in Him!!!
memory verse- "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!!!" Mark 11:9
