On that first Palm Sunday, Jesus the KING entered Jerusalem on a lowly donkey. Before He could come as a King to reign, He had to come as a Savior to die. Throughout HIs life on earth, Jesus was a man of striking contrast----reflecting both His genuine humanity and His full deity.
Jesus, Who is the Bread of Life began His ministry hungering. He who is the
Water of Life ended His ministry thirsting. Christ hungered as a man, yet feed the the hungry as God. He was weary, yet He is our rest. He paid tribute, yet He is the KIng. He was called a devil, but He cast out demons. He prayed, yet He heard prayer. He wept, and He dries our tears. He was sold for 30 pieces of silver, yet He redeems sinners. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd. He gave HIS Life, and by dying He destroyed death. " ALLELUIA WHAT A SAVIOR."
On this lovely Sabbath morning
While the church bells sweetly ring,
There's a message in their chiming:
They proclaim to us a KING.
They are telling of the SAVIOR
As He braved that throng-packed street.
Of the psalm bough gladly offered--
Carpet for small donkey feet.
Now the church bells mount in volume
That the whole wide world may hear
Of that wondrous coronation--
Each Hosanna--every Cheer!
