April 14, 2019: Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion

We join the crowds and hail Christ as our triumphal King as He enters Jerusalem:  He is the One Who came not to seize power for Himself and be a mighty ruler, but because He stepped back from power.  And He humbled Himself to embrace death on a Cross, entrusting Himself to the Father, so that we could be saved from sin.

So as God exalts Him, we shout "Hosanna" because He is the King Who died for us and rose again that we might die to sin and live in newness of Life.  We take our place in following behind Him, entrusting ourselves to God, in the hope that we will enter His Kingdom one day, as He welcomes us in.
