On that first Palm Sunday, the crowds cried out "Hosanna!" — a word that means "Save now!" — as Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey. They were longing for rescue, hoping for a king to deliver them. In this message from Matthew 21, we explore how Jesus answered their cries, not by conquering armies, but by humbling Himself for the sake of the cross. This sermon calls us to recognize our own need for salvation and to see that Jesus still comes today — not always as we expect, but always as we need. As we wave the palm branches of our hearts, we are invited to welcome the true King who brings lasting peace and eternal life.
