Pig asked, Why Palm branches and a little burro to ride to announce THE MESSIAH ?

Good Morning

Pig you are so funny.

I am glad you ask the questions you do.

Pig responded, you do?

Yes, I said .

I like explaining to you about what

The Bible

Tells us so many things we should know about and what we call

PALM SUNDAY .

Pig smiled.

Pig is getting all comfortable at the kitchen table

in front of her large stack of pancakes, butter and a very little bowl of syrup.

Pig wanted to dip her pancakes in it.

Pig takes a few bites, drinks out of her little glass jar of ice cold milk and she seems ready to listen to my story.

Pig looked up and said, I am ready to know now.

I smiled back at her and began sharing the answer to her questions.

A long time ago about 600 years ago written in the book of Isaiah the prophet before Jesus was born in a manager.

It was written that MESSIAH would come.

HE came from heaven to earth to show us the way to be saved through HIM by a virgin girl.

Isaiah 7:14

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and

shall call his name Immanuel.

Pig asked,

What is Immanuel?

I answered.

It means GOD WITH US.

A little baby born fully human fully GOD with us.

The Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary at the announcement of her chosen

And you shall call HIS NAME

JESUS. Luke 1:36-38

We are all born Sinners Pig.

Sinners ? Pig asked.

Yes.

We have a fallen nature to Sin.

Because of Adam and Eve disobeying GOD.

And brought SIN into the world.

Nothing we do or say is a surprise to GOD.

GOD had a plan to rescue us from the beginning of time.

Ephesians 1:10

GODS only SON JESUS would

Be born in the body of the Virgin girl name Mary to become human and live among us.

HIS FATHER WAS GOD OF ALL CREATION

and THE SEED PLACED

IN MARY’S WOMB WAS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.

HE HAD NO SIN.

Born in Bethlehem with his Step Father Joseph and Mary and all the animals in the barn and the shepherds witnessed the birth.

Then later the wise man bringing gifts.

Together Mary and Joseph would both raise

JESUS in the customs of the Jewish heritage and language.

Just know through HIS whole life

Jesus didn’t announce who he was Pig.

His BIG ANNOUNCEMENT CAME

Was on what we call PALM SUNDAY.

MESSIAH HAS COME.

I am revealing who I AM.

JESUS THE MESSIAH

THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD

I have come to save you from all your SINS.

Hosanna , HOSANNA.

Which means SAVE NOW

SAVE NOW.

As the people are shouting .

When he rides on a new colt never ridden before

Meaning peace and purity with Palm branches.

Palm branches and them putting their garments on the ground to have the burro to walk on honoring

JESUS .

Quite the sight to see as well as waving Palm branches back and forth meaning

Peace, Victory and Triumph over the enemies.

This is a declaration in time.

This is the moment that has been held back and now is HERE.

In The book of Isaiah it says

62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

and Zachariah 9:9

Your King rides on a donkey?

Pig said.

Yes..I replied.

Gentle and kind with SALVATION Promised.

Just think hundreds of years before HE came.

It was written for this time,

This is when the religious leaders decided

To have JESUS killed for fear of HIM taking over

Their position.

For they said look the whole world follows HIM.

John 12:19

Then The leader said it would be better that one die

John 11:47

47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, “What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. 48 If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.”

49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, 50 nor do you consider that it is expedient for [a]us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.”

This begins HOLY WEEK.

The last week before JESUS is placed on

THE CROSS

For all the SINS of the world.

THIS IS

The reason HE CAME TO EARTH AS A BABY

WALKED AMONG US AS THE GOD AND MAN

TO RESCUE US.

TO SAVE US FROM ALL OUR SINS

PAST

PRESENT

FUTURE.

HE WILL SUFFER AND HANG ON A CROSS

TO TAKE AWAY OUR SINS.

That will be what is called

GOOD FRIDAY.

Pig looked sad.

HE LOVED US AND STILL LOVES US

PIG .

That is why he suffered for us so we can live with HIM

forever .

ALL who say YES to JESUS

I BELIEVE in YOU.

FORGIVE ME of ALL my SINS.

Help me to live for you forever.

Save me LORD.

In JESUS NAME

AMEN

Pig understood.

And said softly

I believe.

The next event in time Pig

HE will of suffered and died and then

JESUS Will

Be placed in a tomb for 3 days

And then 3 DAYS LATER

HE WILL BE RAISED from the DEAD.

And LIVE FOREVER MORE.

Sitting at the right side of HIS FATHER

and OUR FATHER

Breaking the power over SIN over us through HIM.

and That Pig will be called EASTER.

THE MOMENT THAT JESUS AND HIS RESURRCTIOM FROM THE DEAD

CHANGED TIME.

BC to AD THE YEAR OF OUR LORD.
