WHY IS IT CALLED "PALM SUNDAY"?

In 2009, Palm Sunday, the first day of Holy Week, falls on April 5th. People often ask, "Why do we call it 'Palm Sunday'?" Let's look at the Bible verse John 12:

"The Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem"

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: Ps. 118.25--0.1
Blessed is the King of Israel
that cometh in the name of the Lord. Ps. 118.26


14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

LORD, CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART

"Create in me a clean heart, O Lord!"

God created a new heart in my soul. And it feels so good and clean to have a brand-new heart for Jesus. Everyone needs a clean heart for a clean life. Your soul has to be clean to get intio Heaven.

Therefore, you should get down on your knees to pray. Ask the Lord to cleanse your heart and soul now.

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

Psalm 51:10 King James Bible

WHO SHOULD I TURN TO?

Why not ask God for help? God will give you the courage to seek help. For example, a friend of mine told me about an executive who was making $70,000 a year who lost his job. He got a new job as a janitor making only $12 per hour. So, he had to ask God for help to provide for both himself and his family. He felt ashamed, helpless, and depressed. So, it was then that he needed to surrender everything to God. He turned and asked God for help: “Lord, I am going through a disaster right now, and I need your help as soon as possible. Lord, I know you hear me, and I know you answer prayers. Help me!” And God gave him the courage to make it through each day, one day at a time. Therefore, why don’t you ask God for help?
