“The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna” in the highest heaven!” Matthew 21:9

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, On Palm Sunday long ago the multitudes at Jerusalem hailed you with their glad “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” But a few days later those people shouted their angry “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” Oh God, I pray that I should never be so unfaithful to you, my Savior! Abide in my heart, Lord Jesus, keep me also from living an unholy life. Above all the temptations of the unbelieving world, let me hear your gracious promise, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.” Amen.
