The Eternal Palm Sunday

Happy Palm Sunday to you, dear friend!  It is a special day to celebrate as Christians, as we remember Christ's procession into the city of Jerusalem on a donkey.  It must have been exciting to see Christ himself, triumphantly entering into the beloved city as the crowds shouted, "Hosanna!" (literally, "Save us!"), waving palm branches and throwing down their coats on the road for him to ride over!  However, as much joy as it gives us to look back on that exciting and prophetic event, we cannot forget that it is but a mere shadow of what is to come for us as believers in Heaven as we worship Christ forever!  You see, Palm Sunday is not just a day we celebrate by looking back into Biblical times...but it is a day to be celebrated as a FUTURE event that WE will partake in!

We see a glimpse of this through the disciple John, in his Revelation on the isle of Patmos (Rev 7:9-12)..."After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

Let us not forget to enjoy the FUTURE Palm Sunday as we stand together with people from every nation and from every age and worship God our Lord and Savior!  Let us not forget to teach our children and remind our loved ones about THIS Palm Sunday today, too, friend!  What a blessing THAT day will be!
