Friday after Ash
Wednesday
Read Matthew 21:1-11.
What were the people thinking as they celebrated Jesus’
entry?  Who did they believe Jesus to
be?  
In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asks Peter a pointed question:  “Who do you say that I am?”  That is a question we each must answer.  Who do you say Jesus is?
Notes on the text:
“Hosanna” was a Hebrew invocation meaning “O save” or “God
grant salvation.”  By Jesus’ era, it had
become a shout of joyful acclamation.  It
is a reference to Psalm 118:25-26.
