Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday, 9 April
John 12:12-19
Psalm 118:25-27
JN 12:12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
"Hosanna! "
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Blessed is the King of Israel!"
JN 12:14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,
JN 12:15 "Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion;
see, your king is coming,
seated on a donkey's colt."
JN 12:16 At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
JN 12:17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had given this miraculous sign, went out to meet him. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!"
PS 118:25 O LORD, save us;
O LORD, grant us success.
PS 118:26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
From the house of the LORD we bless you.
PS 118:27 The LORD is God,
and he has made his light shine upon us.
With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession....
Today we sang, among other songs, "Joy to the World". It might seem strange to sing a "Christmas carol" on Palm Sunday, but we thought that the lyrics applied!
1.Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King,
Let every heart prepare him room
And Heaven and nature sing.
2.Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy.
3.He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love.
Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
