PALM PALM SUNDAYSUNDAY

2000 years ago, a king was visiting their city. People lined the streets of the city hoping to get to see the King. The King came riding on a small donkey, and as he rode through the streets of the city, the people waved palm branches and shouted,

HOSANNAHOSANNA "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who

comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!“

I'm sure that you know who that King was -- it was Jesus. And this is what we call, Palm Sunday.

JESUS IS JESUS IS CRUCIFIED!CRUCIFIED!

Jesus was arrested, beaten, dragged through the street, and placed on a cross to die…for our sins.

JESUS IN JESUS IN THE TOMBTHE TOMB

On the Sunday morning after Jesus was crucified, two women named Mary went to visit the tomb where Jesus had been buried.  When they arrived, there was a great earthquake and an angel came and rolled away the huge stone that had been covering the entrance to Jesus' tomb.  He sat on the stone and said to the two women,

WHERE IS WHERE IS JESUS?JESUS?

"Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified.  He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay."  You see, the stone was not rolled away so that Jesus could get out of the grave, it was rolled away so that his followers could go in and see that the tomb was empty. 

JESUS IS JESUS IS ALIVE!!!!!ALIVE!!!!!

He is alive, and because He is He is alive, and because He is alivealive, we too can have a new life in Him.
