Today is Palm Sunday, the day when we remember Jesus riding into Jerusalem in a donkey and fulfilling a 500 year old prophesy then that the Prince or Messiah, God’s chosen one, will be riding in a donkey into Jerusalem – righteous and victorious and yet humble and lowly. This event is significant as it occurred just days before His crucifixion on the cross that redeemed us of our sins before God and His subsequent resurrection and victory over sin and death. Like the Jews wanting to be buried facing the Eastern Gate believing that the Messiah will enter by the Eastern Gate, we too are looking forward to the day of Jesus Christ, that all who had passed on before us in the faith especially our loved ones, will be resurrected.
The difference is that to us in the faith the prophesy of the Messiah entering by the Eastern Gate had already been fulfilled 2,000 years ago while the Jews are still waiting for their Messiah. We are instead looking forward to the second coming of Christ and this time Christ will be coming as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, where every name on earth and in heaven and under the earth will bow down to. He holds the Keys of Hades and it is by His name that we will either take our rightful place with God in the place where He will dwell among us or be condemned to the place of gnashing of teeth forever.
As we prepare to celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday, also known as Resurrection Sunday, let us today on Palm Sunday acknowledge, proclaim and worship Christ as our King and Lord. Indeed Hossana, Hosanna to the Son of David, Hosanna to the King of Kings, Glory in the highest heaven, Jesus Lord Messiah reigns! Indeed only Jesus has the words of eternal life as Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the Lord of heaven and earth, the Son of Righteousness whom angels bow down before – as Jesus Christ is the Lord!
Have a happy and blessed Palm Sunday, everyone!
