Hosanna!- Oh Jerusalem

Oh Jerusalem-

thinking of your doors and entries

walkways and paths
this Palm Sunday.

Luke 19: 37 "And as he was drawing near-
 already on the way down the Mount of Olives-
the whole multitude of his disciples 
began to rejoice and praise God 
with a loud voice for all the 
mighty works that they had seen,saying.
Blessed is the King 
who comes in the name of the Lord!

Peace in heaven 
and glory in the highest!"

v.39 And some of the Pharisees

 in the crowd said to him, 

"Teacher, rebuke your disciples". 

"He answered, 

"I tell you, if these were silent, 

the very stones would cry out."

I think my whole life 

when I heard this verse read - 

I pictured small rocks and pebbles

 along the path.

The massive stone in the photo above

 is what might have been

more abundant 

in the place where Jesus 

entered the city of Jerusalem.

Large rocks, Large- scale. 

 Jerusalem could NOT be silent

when THE KING entered.

Triumphal entry.

The start of Holy Week.

The beginning of the Passion.
