Even as the multitudes waved the palm branches and shouted for joy, they missed the true reason for Jesus’ presence. They could neither see nor understand the cross. That’s why, “as Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it” (Luke 19:41-47).
It is a tragic thing to see the Savior but not recognize Him for who He is. The crowds who were crying out “Hosanna!” on Palm Sunday were crying out “Crucify Him!” later that week (Matthew 27:22-23).
There is coming a day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Phil. 2:10-11; Rev. 7:9).
There’s Something About That Name
Song by Bill & Gloria Gaither
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there’s just something about that name.
Master, Savior, Jesus, like the fragrance after the rain;
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, let all Heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,
But there’s something about that name.
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,
But there’s something about that name.
Have you bowed before Him and given Him the worship, love, devotion and obedience He deserves? You will bow one day, (Revelation 22:11-15). You will one day confess.
Why not bow and confess now by faith when it can save your soul? If you wait until then, you will bow, confess, but it will be too late!
