My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Lisa M Samra … AT THIS LINK … on this PALM SUNDAY celebration, writes of that very special occasion where Jesus entered the gates of Jerusalem, riding into the city to the praises and “hosannas” of the people in fulfillment of the Messianic prophesy of Zechariah 9:9, where the King of kings and Lord of Lords would humbly enter the gates of the City of David, riding on a donkey.
What a scene that must’ve been see photo, which is documented by all four writers of the Gospel accounts (see Scriptures above), showing just how important this event was in the annals of our Lord and Savior. So, I hope - and pray - that all reading here take in the significance of this day and send up praises and glorious thanks for Jesus humbly riding that day into the City of David to the hosannas and praises of the people, which in just a few days would become cries of “crucify Him!”
So, today, over two millennia later, we can celebrate with praises of joy what our Lord did by riding into Jerusalem that day, … events which would unfold on Calvary to save any of us who now know Jesus as our King Jesus, … our Messiah and Lord.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for being my King Jesus, …. worthy of all praise on this Palm Sunday.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to remember - with praises - our Lord and Savior, … our Messiah, … our King Jesus on this Palm Sunday day of Worship. Amen
