Seven. Seven more days!
Today marked the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The throng of people who were there that day were excited for the Messiah to become the conquering King and bring an end to Roman domination.
This very Messiah that they welcomed as their soon-to-be-crowned King had told them clearly that He must suffer and die, but they didn't want to hear that. His kingdom was far different than the one they had planned for him.
He knew how fickle their feelings were, and how miniscule their conviction was. But he accepted their praise. Cloaks laid out on the road as the 'red carpet' for his path. Palm branches waved in glorious exultation that the long-awaited Messiah had come. The epitome of people's praise.
Hosanna. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the LORD.
