Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

Imagine what a host of angels would sound like? I wonder, have you ever heard a very large choir singing Hosanna?

It is awesome to hear a load of people singing in tune and sounding really beautiful, so a choir from Heaven is going to be just breath-taking!

Now think about what it is they are actually singing! Think about the fact they are singing praise to God Himself and then singing a blessing to us!

God is good all the time. All the time, God is good!

Matthew 21:9 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!’ Hosanna in the highest!”

When the people were shouting out their praise they were also making sure that people understood why… They were shouting out praise to the Son of David.

That means they were praising their Messiah, lifting up this person as the chosen one, the one foretold in the prophecies.

When you tell people about Christ do you make sure they know you are praising God and not just some prophet?

Lift up Christ in praise as your Lord and King today and let people know!

Mark 11:9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

There were two groups of people with Jesus as He entered into Jerusalem, those in front of Him and those behind Him.

Some had followed from Jericho which was a short distance away. Some met Him in Jerusalem.

But no matter where they came from, they were lifting up His name and praising Him. How bold and brave would they have to be to do that in spite of the Sanhedrin?

Jesus knows what it takes. Are you willing to give what it takes?
