"The LORD is God, and he has made his light shine on us. With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession up to the horns of the altar."
{Psalm 118:27} (NIV)
Tomorrow is what we call Palm Sunday. It is the day that Christians have set aside as the day to remember the wonderful welcome that our Lord received as he entered Jerusalem at the end of His ministry.
The words those disciples used as they welcomed Jesus, were the words of Psalm 118. In Psalm 118, there is no thought of the king leaving, only rejoicing that he has come to Jerusalem. He will be their deliverer and their salvation because the LORD has blessed him and has shown His power through him. With him present among them, who can hurt them? Oh they are so happy! So they join in on his journey to the temple of God, singing, waving boughs and rejoicing in the goodness of God; drawing near to God with sincere hearts full of adoration and thanksgiving. In short: they worshipped!
This is a day that should cause Christians everywhere to worship God. Our KING Jesus is our deliverer and He is our salvation. He has come into my heart and He will never leave me. Whom will I fear? Who is strong enough to take me from my King, or even separate me from the love of God? May each of us join this festal procession to the horns of the alter in the throne room of God. May we worship Him in spirit and in truth, for he has made his light shine on us.
