“Shout and cheer, Daughter Zion! Raise your voice, Daughter Jerusalem. Your king is coming! A good king who makes all things right, a humble king riding a donkey, a mere colt of a donkey.” The Old Testament prophesy from Zechariah, appears in real time in the Gospels. Crowds were lining the streets of Jerusalem. The cheering followers of Jesus were laying palm branches and even their own cloaks and garments for Jesus to enter triumphantly.  They believed Him to be their long-awaited Messianic King. By lining the pathway, they were giving Him the red-carpet treatment. A King’s welcome!

Are you preparing the way for Him in your life? Do you anticipate Him coming again? Are you looking for His blessing and salvation? Jesus loves you unconditionally.  That being said, you need to seek the Holy Spirit within you and stir up your anticipation.  Get ready!

Easter and His resurrection story are ahead awaiting your joy and celebration of our Lord. After the triumphant entry, the trial, the beatings, the horrific crucifixion, we were gifted Jesus’ Holy, most powerful resurrection. We stand in awe!

Today we symbolically stand to anticipate Palm Sunday and to feel what His followers must have been feeling. Joy and love knowing He was/is the LORD of ALL. Be strong in the Lord.  Shout and cheer, raise your voice for our King, as Zechariah prophesied.
