​Scripture of the Week:
​
Psalm 63 

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
God, You are my God;
I search for You,
my soul thirsts for You,
my body yearns for You,
as a parched and thirsty land that has no water.
I shall behold You in the sanctuary,
and see Your might and glory,
Truly Your faithfulness is better than life;
my lips declare Your praise.
I bless You all my life;
I lift up my hands, invoking Your name.
I am sated as with a rich feast,
I sing praises with joyful lips
when I call You to mind upon my bed,
when I think of You in the watches of the night;
for You are my help,
and in the shadow of Your wings
I shout for joy.
My soul is attached to You;
Your right hand supports me.
May those who seek to destroy my life
enter the depths of the earth.
May they be gutted by the sword;
may they be prey to jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by Him shall exult,
when the mouth of liars is stopped.

All Praises to The King

Picture
Brothers and Sisters, today marks the remembrance of the Triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. He entered the Golden Gate riding on a peaceful creature, a donkey. He knew that there would be people there announcing His arrival who sang Hosanna, Savior, King. Jesus knew what was going to happen even though He entered on a humble creature and signified that He would carry our burdens, our sins, when He was killed on the execution stake we call, the Cross.

Why a Donkey
Donkeys are beasts of burden yet they are also known as peaceful creatures. Jesus rode in on a donkey to show that He did not want war, He wants peace. He rode in with humility even though He knew the crowd would greet Him with calls of triumph. Jesus already was feeling the weight of the burdens so this was a physical representation of the spiritual battle He was already fighting.  
Significance Of Palms
Palms were laid for kings upon entering a gate after a victory in battle. When they laid them down for Jesus they were proclaiming His coming victory over sin even though they thought He was entering to take back the city. We wave palm branches on this day to remember the entry and victory in Jesus.

The Priests Did Not Understand

When Jesus entered the Gate there was a jealousy that ran through the minds of the religious leaders. They wanted the people to stop but they did not. They continued to sing praises to the king. But the funny thing is they were falling right in line with the plan. They rejected Him just as Isaiah 53 had seen. They set in motion the stage for exactly what needed to happen to save mankind.

Sing Hallelujah, Hosanna Has Come  

It is by God’s Grace and Mercy that He gave us His Son to prepare us for what He was doing. God made it possible for us to regain full communion with Him with the only mediator being His Son. No earthly priest can save us. No Pope has right over us. Only Jesus by the right decisions of the Father can save us from eternal death.
Brothers and Sisters, Sing God’s Praises for He has saved us. Trust in Him and speak with Him. Remember His Word and keep in on your heart.

In God’s Embrace,
 Rob, Servant of God
