Hello Everyone,
Jesus rode into Jerusalem that day on a mission.
It was Passover. The greatest of all the Jewish feasts and people from all over Israel made their way to Jerusalem to celebrate.
This holiday (Passover) commemorated God freeing the Jews from Egyptian bondage during the days of Moses.
Jesus, already having traveled and taught and performed miracles over the past three years was making what would turn out to be His last trip to this Holy City.
He knew what would happen there…how He would be treated…how He would die.
But He had a mission.
Just a few days earlier He had made the statement, “For the Son of Man came to seek and save what was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
As we said the word “Hosanna” literally means “Save!”
“Save!” the crowd shouted.
I wonder if Jesus thought, “That’s exactly what I’m here to do. How right you are, but how little you understand.”
Without understanding the details, the crowd was proclaiming what Jesus came to do.
Greater Things Are Still To Come!
