"Hosanna!"
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!"
"Hosanna in the highest heaven!"
~ Mark 11:9-10
Maybe you grew up in church and know what happens on Palm Sunday.
But do you know "why" Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday actually reveals who Jesus is.
It reveals why he came to earth.
It reveals what he is going to do.
This Sunday,
Palm Sunday,
March 28,
Sometimes we don't get what we want,
but with Jesus we get what we need!
A "gambit" was originally a chess term.
The King's Gambit is an opening move in which a player sacrifices material, usually a pawn, with the hope of achieving a resulting advantageous position.
“Sacrifice a player to achieve an advantageous position.”
God made a sacrifice on our behalf.
The King of Heaven became human and was nailed to a cross.
But that move has gained us a great advantage-
By his sacrifice we can have eternal life.
This Sunday we start our Easter Season.
We walk with Jesus through the moves that led to his death, burial and resurrection.
Our King’s Gambit has won victory over sin and death!
