Palm Sunday
March 24th, 2024
https://blog.reaction.la/faith/palm-sunday/
Normally this blog does not note the high holy days of Easter, except for Resurrection Sunday every now and again.
But, since the State of South Dakota has criminalised Good Friday a few days before Easter, I will Streisand the high holy days of Easter, among them
Good Friday.
Today we remember Christs triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Which starts to
get even more ominous tomorrow, but I will not tell that part until Maundy Thursday and the last supper.
This post legal in South Dakota. The Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday posts will be illegal in South Dakota, especially the
Good Friday post, because they will consist largely of portions of the New Testament that are now illegal in South Dakota, and have long been dangerous for any pastor anywhere in the Global American Empire to mention.
John Chapter 12:
12. On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13. Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15. Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16. These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus
was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him,
and that they had done these things unto him.
17. The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18. For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye
prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20. And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21. The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell
Jesus.
23. And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit.
25. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also
my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it
thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30. Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33. This he said, signifying what death he should die.
