Hosanna: Jesus' Triumphant Entry and Our Response

Who is Jesus to you? That is my question. Who is Jesus to you? He is that one that the Sanhedrin council tried to get rid of, but Jesus said, hallelujah, that no man taketh my life but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down and I have the power to take it again. He was born of a virgin Mary. Hallelujah. And he came down from heaven. Wrapped himself in flesh and he walked among men. Hallelujah. And he came as the light and the life. [00:34:58] (54 seconds)  #WhoIsJesus

The Bible says that it was by no other name can man be saved except the name of Jesus. There's no other name. Buddha can't save you. Farrakhan can't save you. There's no other name that you could be saved. And while some people are still questioning and trying to figure out why do they need to be saved, I'm here to tell you read your Bible because the law was given in the Old Testament just to show you how lawless we can be. And it was by the law that we became cognizant of the fact that we needed a savior because there was no other way that we could keep a law. You know you speed.

Now Josephus says it is estimated that over 256,000 lambs were slain at one Passover. And each lamb represented several families of at least 10 worshipers. Imagine the noise. Oh, come on. Y'all been to Ravens football games. Y'all heard the noise. Imagine the noise of people, millions of people shouting, hosanna. Yes. And our king riding, descending down from the Mount Of Olives into the city of Jerusalem. [00:30:42] (48 seconds)  #PalmSundayHosanna

This is holy week. The city was busy. And one of the things I have to appreciate is this deacon. The people came, they were dedicated, and they were focused on what the occasion it was Passover. And for us, it's Palm Sunday. And we, as believers, have come together not only to celebrate what Jesus is about to do, but what Jesus did in that ride. In that ride from mount the Mount Of Olives, I sit descended all the way down into the city of Jerusalem. He made it known who he was, that he was the messiah, our savior. He was the bread of life, the king of kings. [00:42:07] (61 seconds)  #PalmSundayCelebration

It's something psychologically and spiritually that happens to us when we praise God. It is a scientific fact that praising God triggers the release of endomorphins in your body. And those endomorphins bring about a sense of happiness and well-being. So when you say hosanna, it releases endomorphins from your body that makes you feel good. Yeah. Right. So when you say praise the Lord, it releases endomorphins in your body. This is why I don't understand why we don't praise God. [00:26:31] (44 seconds)  #PraiseReleasesJoy

I don't understand why people don't praise God. When you say, hallelujah, it releases endomorphins from in your body, and it takes down your stress level. Hello, stressed out people. When I think about the name of Jesus and all that he's done for me, when I think about where he's brought me from, I say, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And here we are in this watching this beautiful parade unfold before us, [00:27:16] (44 seconds)  #HallelujahHeals

Don't let me get a phone call. Don't let me find out what God celebrated for, what God did for you. Because the first thing I'm gonna say is praise you, God. See, I just released the morphine the endomorphins in my body. I'm gonna praise you, God. Hallelujah. Because I know if God did it for you, he surely is gonna do it for me. Because God is no respecter respecter of person. And so I said, right on, king Jesus, and no man cannot hinder thee. [00:40:33] (31 seconds)  #CelebrateEachOthersTestimony

It's the reason why I want to go back to this scripture. You know why? Because we've already covered his wrath. But the reason why I want to bring this back to your attention, because the disciples had seen the signs, wonders, and miracles that Jesus had performed. And it's so different, oh, glory to God, when we are free in Christ to celebrate what he has done for us. I don't know about you, but I don't just celebrate what God did for me. But let me get a phone call from somebody telling me what God did for them. I celebrate you. [00:39:58] (34 seconds)  #FreedToCelebrate
