"others cut down branches from the trees"

Today is Palm Sunday...

the day we celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry into the city of Jerusalem.

Jesus was not approaching as a king on a throne hoisted high into the air...

He was riding on a donkey, a beast of burden.

He was going to become God's perfect sacrifice for our sin,

the sin of the whole world.

This was the official beginning of His excruciating, humiliating death on the cross.

It would be a week of sorrow, pain, tears, grief,

and the greatest act of love ever known or seen by man.

Jesus, by His death, burial, and resurrection,

by the shedding of His blood,

 would reconcile us to our holy God 

and provide eternal life to ALL who would repent of their sins and believe.

Yes, we celebrate today this truth.

The churches may be closed but there is great worship going on in the hearts of all believers.

God's word will always prevail.

It cannot be hidden or done away with.

It is the truth of Jesus obeying God's command to provide salvation for All of us who believe.

Hallelujah!

"And a very great multitude spread their garments on the road;

others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

And the multitudes cried out saying,

Hosanna to the Son of David! 

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

Hosanna in the highest."

Matthew 21: 8&9
