The King of Kings didn’t arrive on a warhorse or with an army. He arrived on a donkey, choosing humility and peace over power.
As we begin Holy Week, may we welcome Jesus with our all of our hearts.
Blessed Palm Sunday!

Palm Sunday: Jesus’ Triumphant Entry
Today is Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week and the Sunday before Easter. Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus entering into Jerusalem triumphantly
Jesus rode into the city on a colt and the crowd shouting “Hosanna!” excitedly. They waved palm branches as a symbol of victory and triumph. They laid their clothes on the road as Jesus was passing by, and it was like rolling out the red carpet in the ancient time.
Jesus entered into Jerusalem trumphantly, not as a political leader as the crowd expected Him to be but He came as a King who served others. He came into this world to give us peace and to give hope to a hopeless world. He, the beloved Son of God, suffered and died for us on the Cross so that we can be reconciled to God our Heavenly Father.
Today, Christians celebrate Palm Sunday by holding handmade palm crosses or waving palm leaves in the church.
The crowd was shouting, “Hosanna” meaning, “save us”. Indeed, Jesus Christ had come from Heaven to earth to save us from sin and death 🙏🏼
