Remember and celebrate the events of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. Welcomed and hailed as king by many people - five days before the crucifixion (Good Friday).

Jesus' trip to Jerusalem was part of the rescue mission of God. In the welcoming atmosphere of the Easter feast, which celebrates the victory of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, the Lord Jesus into Jerusalem is filled with the arrival of Jews from various places for this celebration.

Information coming of Jesus into Jerusalem, received a positive response. It could be because of Jesus' ministry is phenomenal and recognized a lot of people.

Verse17 speaks of the living testimony of those who saw the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead, which encourages many people with alacrity welcomed Jesus with joy.

They raised his hand and waved palm branches as a form of homage to Jesus as a figure that is expected to become the king of the Jews politically.

They raised voices and convey words of praise: Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of God, the King of Israel (Verse13).

Compliments containing the hope that Jesus can save them as soon as possible from the shackles of Roman occupation.

They are convinced that Jesus is the King and also Messiah; God's promised to save them from the shackles of colonial oppression and the Roman Empire. Because they have seen the authority and power that exist in Jesus. Because of their belief, they welcomed and hailed Jesus by waving Palm leaves.

Hosanna ... which means we survived, became an expression of hope and at the same time their belief in Jesus as the King of God that will save and bring peace to them.

That is why they were waving palm leaves which also is the symbol of peace. Jesus the King came to Jerusalem riding a donkey. Symbol of a humble king who comes to terms with the people of Jerusalem.

Jesus the Prince of Peace who came to Jerusalem was greeted with great fanfare, but we know the story goes that things change so fast when later the people of Jerusalem asked Jesus to be crucified ..................

John 19:15: “But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" "Shall I crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered.”

Today is the last Sunday of Lent is celebrated all over the believers.

Word of God now invites us all to realize fully what the Lord Jesus has done in our lives.

Lord Jesus who taught us to believe in Him "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.“ (John 14:6)

Lord Jesus, who is the Bread of Life so that in Him we live forever (John 6:58).

Lord Jesus is our prayer intercession, so that the whole family needs is fulfilled abundantly.

Lord Jesus is doctor above every doctor so that any disease can be cured if we believe and love God.

Therefore, our journey of faith in the Lord Jesus should we fill it with an attitude of worship and praise.

Have we worship and praise the Lord with our hands and mouths, and in solidarity with all those who love the Lord Jesus?

The Lord Jesus did not reject the worship and praise him.

But God does not only want formality in religious ceremonies, but also in a real challenge.

As performed by Jews who welcomed him with great reverence and praise him but then screaming that he should be crucified.

The behavior of the believer to live a life of faith often unconsciously been like the behavior of the Jewish people.

Vehement in praise of God, but it is easy to forget Him.

So excited in worship, but in real life as lost hope when experienced problem after problem.

Talk about the communion of love, but also easy to accuse someone else's fault. Some time seem so pious, but soon turned into bad, become evil. We are often so fragile.

Therefore, let us emulate the attitude of Jesus who remained calm and steady in facing all the trials. We practice our attitudes that are pleasing to him and shared with all the people who believed in Him, prepare our-self, hearts and minds welcoming His second coming.

"Hosanna! Blessed is HE who comes in the name of God, the King of Israel! " Amen
