triumphant entry

Today's verse comes from Matthew 21:9. This is part of the Triumphant Entry or Palm Sunday. There were many who were lifting Jesus up and shouting his praise, but also missing who he is. Are you looking past Jesus today? 

The music on the podcast is from John Nugent. John is a Chicagoland area musician who has been a real blessing to Tabor Church. 

In this episode we welcome the Reverend Doctor Rod Ellis.

We look at the greeting, "Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest." This is the wonderful greeting to Jesus by the crowd and what we've come to call Palm Sunday. It's packed with meaning. And what does Hosanna mean? It could mean a number of things, but it comes from the Psalms known as the hallel Psalms which means praise. And so Hosanna is a declaration of praise. Our Father in Heaven hallowed be your name. Glory to your name. Praise be to you. We come to hallow to Hosanna and glorify God. But it also literally means a cry for help. Come and save us now. And so as we approach Easter we can truly and sincerely cry Hosanna as we invite the Lord into our personal lives and situations to come and save and bless us.

On Sunday, April 2, for Palm Sunday, Pastor Jeff McLain looked at Luke 19:29-44, and Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. Through this story, we looked at what it means to rightly view Jesus and Jesus' Kingdom.

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem to the cheers of the crowd, a 500-year-old prophecy was being fulfilled. Pastor Nat shares with us about this and other prophecies that all point to Jesus as the Savior of our souls.

Does God exist? What is He like? How can I get to know Him? These are questions often asked about the most important relationship you can ever have. And since we are called to know God as He really is, not how we think He might be, Pastor Nat Crawford has compiled "Knowing God," a Win the Day Bible Study Guide to help you or someone you love get to know the God of the Bible. We trust you'll enjoy "Knowing God."

I bet you haven’t given much thought to the colt that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on. 

There is so much that can be learned from just that piece of the story but in this little session- I only cover the tip of the preverbal iceberg.

Please watch or listen to the session and I’ll bet you’re amazed at what you learn.

Thanks for tuning in.

Be Blessed to be a blessing!!

I used this song in this session:

It is subtle. Often celebrated as a grand parade of great joy, this entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is far more complicated. And the subtly of the text hints at a broad disconnect between the people, and Jesus.

It is the crowd that is jubilant. But Jesus sees his journey into the holy city in a much different light. His is a perspective that resonates still today with hope, with power, and with love.

Join us as Dr. Jordan guides us through the Triumphal Entry as told by both the gospels of Mark and of Luke, and what it means for you and me today.

There is no more significant city in human history than Jerusalem.  In today's passage, David claims the Holy City of Peace for Israel (finally).  It gives us an opportunity to examine the positive and negative history of Jerusalem and its connection to both Israelite identity in Scripture, and our own faith journey today.

Buckle up for LOTS of word nerd stuff.  And burning diapers.  Also, apologies to any Jefferson Starship fans out there.
