Today’s Word from God’s Word-Hosanna

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Hosanna.

According to Matthew 21:9, this is what the crowd shouted as Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey.

Hosanna is a term that means “Save.” It was an expression of praise, celebrating Jesus as the source of salvation.

The Old Testament expressed a plea for salvation. Psalm 118:25 says, “LORD, save us! LORD, grant us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.”  Later, Jesus would enter Jerusalem, coming in peace while riding on a donkey, and presenting Himself as Israel’s king.

Hosanna speaks the compelling truth that through Jesus, our plea for salvation turns into an expression of praise when we welcome Him as our King, Savior, and friend.
