Palm Sunday: Be A Follower of Jesus and Not Just a Fan (VIDEO)

It’s Palm Sunday, which is the day Jesus made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem as depicted in the Gospels (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40, and John 12:12-19) I’ll be honest with y’all, though I always had a bit of a qualm about Palm Sunday, because the Jews were praising Jesus, shouting “Hosanna, Hosanna!” that day.

However, in order to hear and obey that “NO,” we have to know God’s voice in the first place. And the only way to know that is through actually knowing and being close to God in the first place.
