The shame of Palm Sunday

[bigape]

This coming Sunday, a lot of Bible believing Churches are going to be recognizing Palm Sunday, to their own shame.

Other than being one of those made-up celebrations, concocted by the Catholic Church, Palms Sunday is also one of the last days, a real Christian would want to celebrate.

Here is the account........

John 12:12-13

V.12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

V.13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

But a few days later, here is what those same people were crying.....

Mark 15:11-13

V.11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

V.12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do [unto him] whom ye call the King of the Jews?

V.13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

What's wrong with celebrating Palm Sunday? I don't get it.

I think we need to remember that Jesus was not apprehended and crucifoed against His will...Scripture says He laid down His life....therefore it is something to be celebrated....it was not defeat but victory....and the demonstration of love and submission.

People seem to forget that part. It's easier to see the hatred that went into the crucifixion of Jesus, then it is to see the act of love that was accomplished that day.

Isn't it amazing that there are still some people today that are clueless just as those people that shouted Hosanna over 2000 years ago, when it comes to Palm Sunday and Easter?

Remember all this time from Palm Sunday to the Cross, Jesus could of called down 1000 Angels to save him, but he loved us so much that he stayed the course and Prophecy kept being fulfilled.

Lets take a step back to that period in time, things were happening fast, The people were on a all time natural High. JESUS, THE SON OF GOD, the King of the Jews was coming, Jesus in their minds was going to be their great King and he was going to deliver them from the oppression of Roman rule. So the people were excited when Jesus came ridding in on a donkey, they started yelling Hosanna and celebrated. (they were clueless)

Yes Jesus was riding in as our/their King, but not to free them from Roman authority, but to free us from the Bondage of sin.

Now lets fast forward to Jesus standing before Pontius Pilate, the people felt betrayed (still clueless), this man that they thought was going to lead then to freedom from the Roman Empire was now a prisoner of the Romans, how could he possibly be the deliver, so the people yelled crucify him.

Even while Jesus was nailed to the cross, Jesus said "FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY DO NOT NO WHAT THEY DO", they were clueless.

So what is Easter all about? Easter is about substitution, Jesus substituted his life and went through great suffering for our sins and none of us are worthy of it, but that is how much Jesus loves us.

"Palm Sunday," as we call it, was a very profound fulfillment of Scripture. ("Rejoice O daughter of Zion....")

And BigApe, you are making a huge mistake in your understanding of how many people and who were involved in Jesus' trial.

The Pharisees had Jesus arrested during a time when the majority of the population would be in their homes, thus know nothing about the trial. There is reason to believe that not even the entire Sanhedrin was in attendance. The masses in front of Pilot were gathered by the Pharisees et al who plotted against Jesus. Only a couple hundred people could fit inside that courtyard at most!The majority of the people had no idea what was going on until it was too late.
