Palm Sunday

Good day everyone'
Today we Christian's are celebrating Palm Sunday.

Palm Sunday is a moveable feast in the Christian calendar which falls on the Sunday before Easter.

The feast commemorates an event reported by all four Canonical Gospels

(:Mark 11:1-11, Matthew 21:1-11, Luke 19:28-44, and John 12:12-19) - the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion.

THE REAL MEANING OF PALM SUNDAY
Mark 11: 1-11 Philippians 2: 5-11
What a splendid occasion that must have been--Jesus riding on that humble donkey, into the city of Jerusalem while children spread palm branches on the street in front of Him--people on the side shouting "Hosanna, Hosanna! Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord."
Perhaps Palm Sunday didn't make much of an impact on the city of Jerusalem.

These were festival days.

Jerusalem was crowded.

During this time of year it became a large city even as it does on the holy days of our modern times.

No, it probably didn't make a big impression on the Holy City.

But those people who stood on the side knew that something special was happening in their very midst.

Someone special was entering their city.

And so they shouted "Hosanna."
Paul describes the same kind of event with regard to the coming of Christ into the world when he writes in Philippians:

"Have this mind among yourselves, which you have in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross.

Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

And This is also a beginning of SEMANA SANTA...
