PALM SUNDAY, Mar. 25, 1884
Text John 1918. "They 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"
The first King of Israel was Saul,
the second David, then Solomon and
SO on down the line. But none came
in the name of the Lord, which means
Jehovah which means God.
Jesus was very popular at this time
as a man not as Christ. He had the
most popularity of any potentate in
the world especially in Palestine The
people felt that what the prophets had
said was come to pass. At this time
Israel had no King. The Roman
Empire ruled over the then known
world. The people were longing for
King that would come in the name
of the Lord Jesus had raised the
hopes of the people and they felt that
the time had come and they were very
happy over it.
Now there were several things that
had come to pass; there had been Won
derful propheSies fulfilled at the birth
of Jesus. His talk at the age of
twelve with the great men of Jerusa-
lem; now the miracles of Gallilee and
Capernaum. He grew in power and
those of the Jews who were jealous of
Him were watching Him closely. Re-
member the woman at Jacobs well,
how He told her all she had done and
what she was then doing. He con-
WINGED her that He was super-human;
and she was converted. And when
we are truly converted we leave the
old things. She left her water pitcher
and ran and told others to Come and
see man who has told me all things"
Jesus told her more about a Universal
worship of Himself.
Isaiah and all the prophets had
spoken of Jesus. He had turned the
driven two thousand devils out of one
man, a demoniac. They had heard of
that. They had heard of His wonder
full work at Capernaum. Now He
came down to Jericho on His way to
Jerusalem and a blind man stopped
Him. Sinners! if you stop Jesus He
will give you your sight. The people
rebuked the blind man but He did not
stop. He cried aloud to Jesus and
Jesus heard him. He will hear you,
This blind man had on flowing robe.
Jesus said, Bring him hither and the
man ran in haste and discarded his
robe when you get ready to go to
Jesus and find the Christ no one can
stop you.) and Jesus said "What wilt
thou?" and he told Him. Jesus said,
Receive thy sight"
And He went on up to Bethany and
there was dead man who had been
dead four days. He said to Martha
and Mary, Didn't say if you believe
YOU will see the glory of God?" He
lifted his eyes to God and groaned in
the spirit and wept, Jesus said to Mary
and Martha "Thy brother shall rise
again" Then, Jesus cried with a loud
voice that went piercing through the
ether and He called forth Lazarus and
said: "Loose him and let him CO." The
people had heard about that. The
news had spread to Jerusalem and all
of Judea and the people were there
to crown Him King; and they got
palm branches and garments and
strewed them in the pathway. He came
on mule, not steed. The people
were calling Him King and crying
Hosanna! And the children joined the
company and there were the women.
BLESSED is He that cometh." they
shouted along the way.
The Pharisees and the Saducees
were inquiring "Who is He?" Sinners!
today Jesus is waiting for you if you
will but take time to acclaim Him:
Heaven bells will ring in your soul.
Jesus is King! Blessed is He that
cometh in the name of Jehovah! Hos
anna in the highest! When Jesus
Jesus comes in He makes a change.
My dear friends let us acclaim Him.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Blessed is He that
cometh in the name of the Lord.
Blessed is His Holy Name. Our help
cometh from the Lord God gives
good gifts to men, Blessed is He that
cometh in the name of the Lord!
