HOSANNA

 

“So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!”” John 12:13

 
Palm Sunday,
 
Jesus walked in
 
Thousands gathered around 
 
With hands raised in worship
 
They were crying out with a loud voice
 
H o s a n n a
 
Lord, save us.
 
They saw a Savior
 
and wanted to crown Him king.
 
But when Jesus told them to drop their swords at their feet
 
and instead wash their enemy’s feet.
 
Their cry’s became shouts.
 
Only five days later,
 Good Friday,
 
Jesus walked in
 
Thousands gathered around
 
With fists raised in anger
 
They were shouting with a loud voice
 
C r u c i f y   h i m
 

 
The same voices who cried “hosanna” cried “crucify him” just a week later
 
Christ didn’t save them from the Romans like they wanted,
 
Instead, he saved them from themselves.
 
Christ will answer your cry of salvation in a way you may never expect
 
but He will save you none the less.
 
So, let the cry of hosanna remain
 
until the day our King returns.
 
Even when He asks you to be servant and not a King.
 
Lord, save us.
 
Lord, you saved us.
