Sermon #598
When we look at the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, we find a story that we know very well. After all, we celebrate Palm Sunday every year; ever since we were kids in Sunday School we learned about how Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and the people threw their cloaks and palm branches at his feet, crying "Hosanna!" But it's that word, Hosanna, which always confused me as a child. I thought it was a cry of praise for Jesus the conquering king. But it is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew words "yosa 'ana" which means "Save now, we beseech you!" The people were crying out to be saved, and Jesus came to do just that... But not how the people expected.
