Thought of the day

Triumphal entry into Jerusalem

How can we seek to follow Jesus Christ each day?

“And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.” Matthew 21:10-11

On Palm Sunday, Jesus Christ made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem as His followers waved palm fronds and laid down cloaks in His path. They surrounded Jesus with love and praise, shouting “Hosanna”: a phrase meaning “please save us.” Many of Jesus’ followers expected Him to save them from Roman rule, but His goals were more eternal. Jesus came to earth, not to provide political deliverance, but to save all humankind from sin and death.
