Palm Sunday and the awesome week approaching from "His Kindness Year Round"

I sometimes like to mentally picture Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem . . . .

I see the Lord riding his donkey, as prophesied in the Old Testament. 

Zechariah 9:9 “Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!  Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!  See, your king comes to you; righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

I imagine the crowd, celebrating His arrival with voices of praise, laying down their garments and palm branches, shouting “Hosanna”!  Ah, at last, their king had arrived to save them.

Meditate on the Word today, in preparation for the magnificent week, Holy Week, to come.

Matthew 21:1-9 “As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her.  Untie them and bring them to me.  If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them and he will send them right away.  This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:  “Say to Daughter Zion, See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”  The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.  They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on.  A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.  The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”  “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”  “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

Yes, the Savior has arrived . . . . .

Prayerfully, your sister in Him,
