HOSAANA IS THE KING | PALM SUNDAY BEGINS THE GREATEST WEEK IN HISTORY

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Today we step into Palm Sunday—the moment Jesus entered Jerusalem and openly revealed Himself as King.
The crowds laid down palm branches and cried out:

Hosanna Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord

But this was more than celebration… this was a declaration.

Jesus was fulfilling prophecy and presenting Himself as the Messiah—yet not the kind of King they expected.

WHAT PALM SUNDAY TEACHES US

1. Jesus is King
He didn’t come to suggest truth—He came to reign.

He is worthy of our full surrender, not partial commitment.

2. God always fulfills His Word
Every detail—down to riding on a donkey—was prophesied.

What God says, He does.

3. Many people want a Savior—but not a Lord

The crowd wanted freedom from Rome…

Jesus came to bring freedom from sin.

4. Emotional faith is not real faith
The same voices shouting Hosanna would soon cry Crucify Him.

True faith follows Jesus beyond feelings.

5. God’s Kingdom comes through humility
Jesus entered in peace, not power.

Victory would come through sacrifice, not force.

THIS WAS JUST THE BEGINNING

Palm Sunday launches Holy Week—the most important week in human history.
In just a few days:

Jesus will teach and prepare His disciples
He will be betrayed and arrested
He will go to the cross on Good Friday

The cross was not an accident—it was the mission.

-Jesus took our place.
-He bore our sin.
-He paid the price we could never pay.

AND THEN COMES VICTORY

-Three days later…
-The tomb is empty.
-Jesus rose from the dead.
-Sin is defeated.
-Death is conquered.
-Salvation is available..

--Jesus came as King
--He died as Savior
-+And He rose as Lord

This week—don’t just observe it. Walk through it.

-Surrender to the King
-Stand at the cross
-And rejoice in the resurrection
-Hosanna in the highest
