Sunday
Jesus walked from Bethany to Jerusalem. He rode into the city on a donkey, as a verse in the Old Testament said He would. People recognized Him as their King, shouting, “Hosanna,” and laying down palm leaves in front of the donkey to keep dust from getting on the Savior. Jesus visited the temple and then returned to Bethany.
See Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 21:1–11; Mark 11:1–11.
As a young child growing up and passing by the catholic church on our way to our own church I would see Palms on Palm Sunday used for their service. My mom grew up as catholic so she sometimes would tell us of the significance these and other symbols had. The part that sticks out to me the most is that they used Palms to signify his greatness. He entered on a white ass (donkey) signifying his greatness and power. John 12 : 13-16 states, "
For me all of this signifies how great He was and that He was/is the Master of all things. In school we were always taught about the Master Teacher and learned how to take lessons from him and use them in our own lessons or lives.
Today at church we sang one of my favorite songs...
LDS HYMNS #2
The Spirit of God
go here to listen
One of my most favorite parts of this song is The chorus... We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven, Hosana, Hosana to God and the Lamb! Let Glory to them in the highest be given, Hence-forth and forever Amen and Amen.
He taught us how to live and how to be who we are. I thank Him for all that He does and I sing and shout unto Him HOSANA HOSANA TO GOD AND THE LAMB!
May each of you find blessings this Palm Sunday and every one after. Especially this week of Easter as we Remember Him.

13Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy aKing cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16These things aunderstood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him."
