Immaculate Conception

 Church

1. God's Word tells us the people cut palm branches and waved them in the air, laid them out on the ground before Jesus as He rode into the city.  The palm branches represented goodness and victory.  
2. Jesus chose to ride on a donkey, which directly fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy of Zech. 9:9 - in biblical times, it was common for kings or important people to arrive by a procession riding on a donkey, which symbolized peace.
3. When the people shouted, "Hosanna!" they were hailing Christ the King.  The word actually means "save now," and though in their own minds they waited for an earthly king, God had a different way in mind of bringing true salvation to all who would trust Him.  
4. The bible says that Jesus wept for Jerusalem.  In the midst of the praise of the moment, He knew in His heart that it wouldn't be long that these same people would turn their backs on Him, betray Him, and crucify Him.  His heart broke with the reality of how much they needed a savior.
5. Palm Sunday reminds us that the reign of Christ is far greater than we may conceive or plan.  We looked for someone to fight our battles in the present-day world.  Yet, God had the ultimate plan of sending His Son to fight the final battle over death.
