Imagine the scene on Palm Sunday as Jesus approached Jerusalem in the crowd of pilgrims who were gathering for the Passover celebration... The people were singing the same old Psalms - but with new vigor. Now they were addressing these words toward Jesus... "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna!" "Save us, please, Lord!"
The Pharisees thought this was blasphemous and expected Jesus to rebuke them... but he accepted the praise. These words were written about him - and he was the Messiah they prayed would arrive.
We should learn from their praise... and we should join in the praise!
