Today, we remember and celebrate the beginning of the greatest gift God has ever given the human race!

The Gift of salvation, payment for sin, and resurrection to life by the gift of His Son Jesus Christ

Have you opened the gift?

Do you believe and trust in this gift enough to have it lead your life?

But this is just the beginning, the door has been opened, and now I have the WAY to live, love, walk my life in the design and purpose God has created me for, and be ready for Jesus when He returns.

If this occurs after my last breath…I want to ensure I am as ready as if it were to occur while still breathing.

Palm Sunday celebrates the day Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey colt (a young donkey that has never been ridden on), and the people celebrate Jesus's arrival.

Jesus rides in as a hero, but just days later, they are demanding he be crucified because Jesus did not meet the Jews' expectations and wants.

The battle the people thought needed to be fought by Jesus was not the battle that NEEDED to be fought and WON! The people wanted freedom from the Romans and thought this would be their ultimate freedom when what the Jews and the whole human race was freedom from spiritual death because of our sin. The Law could not supply the permanent payment for sin, and nothing humanity could do would pay the price for our sin and achieve eternal life in the presence of God.

Until God sent His Son, Jesus, to be our Christ, our Savior, and Messiah, and He paid the price for all of us with his own blood!

Imagine being a Jew and seeing Goliath and the Philistines at the door, ready to turn you into their slave. Then, David kills Goliath. How would you cheer, honor, and worship David after that? Jesus did so much more! Paying the price of your and my sin with his own life. By doing this, He freed us from the bondage of sin.

Where does Jesus land in your life?
