Hello, I am new to the area…what’s going on? Why are all these people lining the road waving those palm fronds? Who is the man riding that donkey? Singing “Hosanna”?
(A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 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!”
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”Matt. 21:8-11)
Don’t you know, haven’t you heard of this man, Jesus?
No, what is so special about him?
The people around me start telling me about all he had done…raised a dead man, healed someone’s daughter, healed some blind men, taught crowds, fed five thousand plus people with a small boy’s lunch…said he was from God…and on and on, so many things that could have filled many books…
These people were joyous that he was by them…maybe if they touched his robe the sick could be healed like the woman they knew of… but they raised their branches and sang with the others…
I found myself watching him…his smile lit the day…the colt carried him as if he was no burden…his peaceful countenance among so many was hard to miss…
I needed to find out more about while I visited this town…who was he…did he really do all these people reported…where was he from…what was his name?
I think I will follow and find out….do my business quickly and look into this man whom these people revere…
Hosanna…
