Hosanna, a noun which means praise and adoration. It is what the people cried out when Jesus rode into Jerusalem. They were so excited and praising whom they called the King. Palm Sunday, as we refer to it, was remembered by many this weekend and this in preparation for holy week. Palm Sunday brought praises and celebrating and the end of the week brought accusations, condemnation, suffering, denials and death. As we go into this week, let us reflect upon the meaning and significance of the cross.
Dear God, please stay close to all of us this week. Walk with us and give us guidance and counsel as we seek you in each and every moment of this momentous week.
