Ho san' na Perfect Praise

The Triumphal Entry

21 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage,[a] at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

All[b] this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

“Tell the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’”[c]

So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him[d] on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:

“Hosanna to the Son of David!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’[e]
Hosanna in the highest!”

10 And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”

11 So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”

14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant 16 and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise'?"[i] 17 Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there. 


 ~Matthew 21: 1-17

HO SAN' NA  which literly means "SAVE US WE PRAY"

This Palm Sunday I was reminded how our faith in Christ is our first and most pefect act of praise to our King Jesus.

See on that great day they shouted with un-containable praise, shouting Hosanna in the Highest declaring  the promissed Messiah had come, Hosanna in the Highest, Hosanna to the Son of David.  

When they saw Jesus they saw the fullfillment of the promissed messiah (savior,) salvation was at hand and the shouted with great praise; a praise that had been perfected in their faith, they were so close to God in this very moment.  He even tells the Pharisees "Haven't you heard! from the lips of the FAITHFUL (little children) He has ordained perfect praise."    

It is our pefect faith that pleases God. It's when we invest like little children, when our faith becomes simple and we just believe that it becomes perfect.

And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  ~Matthew 18:3

He bosted on their great faith, my hope today you would boast of the Lord in your faith, that you like those in that day would shout "Hosanna "Hosanna" in the hightest, that you would praise Him for your salvation, for coming to save you.

He deserves the highest praise!

Let us proclaim it: Hosanna in the Highest Hossana to the King of Kings, Lord of Lord's..
