HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST !
BLESSED IS HE THAT COMETH
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD !
Palm Sunday and the Donkeys
Just before HE+ was born in a stable, Our LORD rode into Bethlehem snug in the womb of the Hebrew virgin, Mariam, riding on a donkey.
HE+ was riding to His+ Birth, His+ entrance into humanity.
In her womb, HE+ rode the common beast of burden, the common man's means of transportation. HE+ was about to enter into this world of woe. HE+ was about to enter into this present darkness.
It only got darker as HE+ grew into manhood.
Then the True LIGHT+ of the world was proclaimed and some came to that LIGHT... which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. As many as received HIM+, to them gave HE+ power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on His+ name.
On the day the church designates as Palm Sunday, Our LORD rode a donkey the second time. This time HE+ entered Jerusalem. The crowds worshipped and sang HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST! BLESSED IS HE+ WHO COMETH IN THE NAME OF THE LORD !
HE+ knew HE+ was riding to His+ Death.
It is required of us to mount those donkeys too. We must join HIM+ in death so that we too can enter this world of woe, bearing His+ Light. May The LORD help all of us to do so.
In the name of The FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT. Amen. + + +
