Biblical reference
Marc 11, 1-11 Jesus enters Jerusalem
When Jesus and his followers approached Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives. Jesus gave two disciples a task, saying to them,
“Go into the village over there. As soon as you enter it, you will find tied up there a colt that no one has ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘Its master needs it, and he will send it back right away.’”
They went and found a colt tied to a gate outside on the street, and they untied it. Some people standing around said to them,
“What are you doing, untying the colt?”
They told them just what Jesus said, and they left them alone. They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes upon it, and he sat on it. Many people spread out their clothes on the road while others spread branches cut from the fields. Those in front of him and those following were shouting,
“Hosanna! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessings on the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest!”
Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. After he looked around at everything, because it was already late in the evening, he returned to Bethany with the Twelve.

This article reminds us that we still need to celebrate the occasion, and let us not forget to give thanks, and pray that this pandemic will be over soon.Thanks for sharing!
Amen… let us keep faith, not panic and pray

The triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is the hallmark of our faith and assurance of the Glory that we have in Christ Jesus. Surely there is an end and the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut short. I am so grateful to God for this victory over sin and death which has made us outstanding. The passion sunday or palm sunday ushers us on to Easter and seals our victory over all circumstances in life. I pray that this Easter will bring a sudden end to the corona virus game in the world and cause mankind to reverence God and live in love and worship of God. That we may know Him and the power of His resurrection. I deeply look forward to this years 2020 Easter to be the turning point of the world. Nevertheless, let the will of God prevail. Thank you Marayam for this amazing website. God bless you more abundantly. You have lighted my prayer candle.
May menkind turn towards the Creator of all life.
Follow his divine laws, give praise to His Name and serve Him
And may this time of tribulation enlighten many
