Luke
19:28-40 “Even the Rocks Cry Out”
What a skeptical
it must have been. People lining the road trying to see Jesus. Spreading their coats
on the ground and waving palm branches while shouting Hosanna (give salvation
now) “Hosanna blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of
Israel” Liberal scholars say that the
crowds always did this at Passover but that is a Christian tradition that
started long after Jesus died. But I want us to get a feel for the day.
