Why Palm Frawns?
By Mark Flippo
It was common practice in the ancient world to welcome home a king by laying out a path of branches for him to ride/walk on. The palm branches were used as a mark of rejoicing.
How soon the Hebrews forgot how they welcomed Jesus! They welcomed Him like a king but three and a half years later Pontius Pilot places a placard above His head that this is the King of the Jews. They hung Him on a cross to die. It shows that you can gain trust and followers and just as quickly lose them all. We must be careful in working for the Lord that we do it always with the right attitude. That way no matter what happens He will guide you through any time of trouble. Jesus had to surrender His life on the cross. Sometimes Jesus will ask us to carry a cross for a time to perfect us in the Spirit.
