Palm Sunday

Scripture Reading:
Matthew 21:1–11

Devotional Thought:
Palm Sunday marks Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The crowds shout “Hosanna,” laying down palm branches and cloaks as He rides in—not on a war horse, but on a humble donkey. They expected a political king who would overthrow Rome, but Jesus came as a different kind of King; one who brings peace, salvation, and a kingdom not of this world. Their praise was loud, but many hearts misunderstood who He truly was.
It is possible to celebrate Jesus outwardly while missing Him inwardly.

Application:
Welcome Jesus as He truly is, not just as you want Him to be. Surrender your expectations and allow Him to reign as King over every part of your life, not just the parts that are comfortable.

Self-Reflection Question:
Am I truly submitting to Jesus as King, or only celebrating Him when He meets my expectations?
