CHRIST our PASSOVER+

PALMS OF VICTORY ! ~ PALM SUNDAY 2023 ~ BUT, There's Coming ANOTHER TRIUMPHAL ENTRY !

 

The LORD JESUS CHRIST’S FIRST Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem began with glorious praises filling the air.

 But it ended in His+ weeping over Jerusalem.  GOD’S Ancient people refused to be set free from sin, hell, and the grave.

However, there is coming a DAY like No Other Day in which HIS+ TRIUMPH will be completed !
