GIVE HIM PRAISE

“Took 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.”

John 12:13 KJV

Jennie Bain Wilson wrote a beautiful inspiring hymn that I just found “Hosanna to the King”.  “Hosanna to the King! Let happy voices ring The praise of Him who triumphed o’er the grave; He reigns as victor now, To Him in homage bow; Undying hope to us He gave.”

One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess Jesus is Lord.  “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10, 11).

Have you ever thanked Jesus for leaving His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for your sins?  Jesus had never sinned, never did anything wrong yet because He loves His Father and you so much He walked that long lonely road to Calvary and died for your sins.

Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that you are loved by the Saviour of the world?  Love, unconditional love is the answer to every heartache.  May God help us to be an encouragement to one another, to our pastor and especially to Jesus.
