Happy Palm Sunday Y'all!


As He (Jesus) approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you 'Why are you untying it?' tell them, 'The Lord needs it.'"

Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as He had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?" They said, "The Lord needs it."

They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it. As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road.

When He came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles which they had seen:

"Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"


Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if they became quiet, the stones will cry out."


As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace -- but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and surround you and hem you in on every side. They will level you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you." 
~Luke 19:29-44


The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel!" ~John 12:13



Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion!
Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem!
See, your King comes to you,
righteous and having salvation,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

~Zechariah 9:9
Written over 500 years before Jesus enter Jerusalem.


To all of my Christian friends and fellow believers, and to everyone worldwide reading this post, I would like to wish each and every single one of y'all a very Happy Palm Sunday!
