They All Praised Him

We reflect on the significance of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, a moment that fulfills the prophecy of Zechariah and marks the beginning of a pivotal week in Christian history. The people of Jerusalem welcomed Jesus with palm branches and garments laid on the road, a gesture of honor and praise. This act of worship, using what they had, reminds us that God values our sincere offerings, no matter how simple they may seem. The crowd's praise was not just for the miracles they had witnessed, but also for the hope and salvation Jesus represented.

The story of Jesus riding on a colt, a symbol of purity and newness, speaks to us today. It reminds us that God can use anyone, regardless of their past or perceived inadequacies. Just as the colt was chosen for a divine purpose, we too are called to serve in God's kingdom. This Palm Sunday, we are encouraged to praise God with what we have, laying down our burdens and offering our lives as a testament to His glory.
