Do you remember when Palm Sunday was a Holy Day in the lives of believers? That Sunday was rather solemn as well as filled with excitement. We returned to our homes with a glow as we looked for a special location to place the palms we received at church. The palm fronds were a reminder of the first time in Jesus' presence on earth that He was recognized and honored as a King.
The believers who gathered along the road to Jerusalem spread their garments and tree branches on the road as a tribute, while Jesus road on a donkey's colt as a sign of His humility.
This was a time of deep reflection on our faith. A glorious day of celebration that would lead us to reflect on Jesus' passion, death and resurrection that would usher in the way of Salvation. A new life, everlasting, that would be purchased at the greatest price ever paid for the sins of the world. A time of Joy, sadness followed by the greatest joy of all time, the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead that guaranteed forgiveness and life everlasting in the Presence of Almighty God.
May we consider what tribute we would have paid on that road of triumphal entry!
And, how long would we be faithful to Him in His forthcoming torture and death that would soon follow?
Thank you Jesus for going forward on your assignment even as you knew of the price you would pay because of my sins!!!
Hallelujah King Jesus!!!!
