Triumphal Entry - Triumphal Prayers

Hosanna! Save now! The Israelites' cry reverberated along the stone walls and rocky streets of Jerusalem. Their shouts of praise reflected the common belief that Jesus had come to save them from Roman dominion. Were their prayers answered? Maybe, but God saved not just the Jews, but all Christians, from something much greater - sin's dominion. Imagine the heartbreak a few loyal Jews must have felt at Jesus' death. Their prayers had apparently gone unheard. Their Messiah was dead, and all hope seemed gone. But then something happened. Christ rose from the dead, and with Him came an answer to prayer much greater than anything the Jews had dared to ask.

Isn't God great? Even when our prayers lack understanding, God still uses them to bring about what He knows is best, not just for us, but for all His people. Hosanna! God has saved us! Praise be to our Lord, now and forever.
