Shout and cheer, Daughter Zion!
Raise the roof, Daughter Jerusalem!
Your king is coming!
A good king who makes all things right,
a humble king riding a donkey, a mere colt of a donkey.
I’ve had it with war – no more chariots in Ephraim,
no more war horses in Jerusalem,
no more swords and spears, bows and arrows.
He will offer peace to the nations, a peaceful rule worldwide,
from the four winds to the seven seas.
Zechariah 9:9-10 (The Message)
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
Mark 11:9b-10 New International Version (NIV)
The crowd was filled with GREAT EXPECTATION.
The cheering changes…….
“Crucify Him, Crucify Him, Crucify Him!”
Matthew 27:22-23, Mark 15:13-14, Luke 23:21, John 19:6,15
…Jesus breathed his last breath.
Matthew 27:50, Mark 15:37, Luke 23:46, John 19:30
“Father, forgive them,
for they do not know what they are doing.”
Luke 23:34 (NIV)
When the cheering changes,
will you choose Jesus?
