SCRUTATIO SCRIPTURAE
PALM SUNDAY
Right after Jesus' Transfiguration on Mount Tabor (Where He showed his disciples a glimpse of His Glorious Resurrection as well as the Declaration of Moses and Elijah that HE is the Fulfillment OF GOD'S PROMISE, HE IS THE LONG AWAITED SAVIOR), He bid His disciples to go to the Holy City of Jerusalem... For His Disciples, they are going there to celebrate the Jewish Feast of the Passover... Passing from Slavery to Egypt to Being in a new Land filled with GOD's Blessing... But for Jesus, this is a New Passover... LEADING US TO A PASSOVER FROM SLAVERY TO SIN, DEATH, HELL, AND THE ENEMY!
He entered The Gates riding on a colt, a declaration to us that He is the Long awaited Messiah! The KING OF PEACE! As Declared by the Prophet Zachariah of old...
The People took some Olive and Palm Branches, even spreading their cloaks like a carpet to honor their KING... "HOSHANA! (that is"SAVE US NOW!") BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! BLESSINGS TO THE SON OF DAVID! ...
But like them... After Praising Jesus with our Palm Branches and our spontaneous words of Worship, on Good Friday, we are in union with them in shouting and making the demand to Governor Pontius Pilate: "CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM!"...
Yet, in spite of this... He is patient with us, teaching us not only to worship God in words... But most especially, we ought to worship HIM with our whole lives!

FOR OUR LIVES IS A LIVING SACRIFICE UNTO GOD BECAUSE OF CHRIST!
