Worship Cornerstone - Palm Weekend

When Jesus entered Jerusalem in the days leading up to His death, something interesting happened. The crowd celebrated His entrance into Jerusalem as their new earthly king to rule over Jerusalem and the Jewish nations. Jesus had explained to His followers for three years that His kingdom was greater than one city, nation or the earth could even hold, but as an everlasting kingdom that knows no boundaries - and they still didn’t get it!

They wanted Jesus to be something that was so limited and focused on their own selfish needs. In their short sightedness, they could not see past their own agenda to accept and follow Jesus for who He truly was.

As we celebrate the triumphal entry of Christ today, sing to the God who knows no bounds or limits! Ask Him to be the King of your heart and to have His way in your heart and mind. Give it all to the God who knows the beginning and end, believing and understanding that His infinite knowledge and power will protect and guide us.
