When Jesus rides into Jerusalem on "Palm Sunday", the crowds shouted "Hosanna!"
In Hebrew, hosanna means "Save, I pray!" or "Save now!" and it shares a root with the name of Jesus, "The Lord saves".
For centuries the Jewish people had anticipated the coming of God's Messiah, who would bring salvation.
They recognized Jesus as the one bringing salvation.
They recognized their need for salvation.
The only thing they didn't get was what they needed to be saved from.
How about us? Do we have a mental and spiritual grip on exactly what we need to be saved from?
Really?
