From Hosanna to the Cross: When Praise Turns and Purpose Prevails • Sunday Service
From Hosanna to the Cross: When Praise Turns and Purpose Prevails • Sunday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org There is something deeply sobering about the journey from Palm Sunday to the cross. In just a matter of days, the atmosphere completely shifted. The same voices that cried out “Hosanna!” would soon shout “Crucify Him!” And if we’re not careful, we’ll read that as history and miss the warning and the revelation for our own lives today. Because this isn’t just about what they did. It’s about what people still do. On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem exactly as prophesied. Matthew 21:9 (NKJV) “Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!’” John 2:15–16 (NKJV) “When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple… and said… ‘Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!’” John 19:15 (NKJV) “But they cried out, ‘Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!’” Isaiah 53:7 (NKJV) “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter…” John 10:18 (NKJV) “No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself…” 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Colossians 2:15 (NKJV) “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” Luke 9:23 (NKJV) “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Romans 5:8 (NKJV) “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” So what do we take away from Palm Sunday to the cross? Stay rooted in truth, not emotion. Don’t follow Jesus for what He can do for you temporarily, follow Him for who He is eternally. Let Him be Lord, not just Savior. And don’t just be part of the crowd that praises Him when it’s easy. Be the one who stands when it’s hard. Because at the end of the day, the same Jesus who rode into Jerusalem and the same Jesus who hung on that cross is still King. And He’s still worthy, whether the crowd shouts or walks away. Because real faith doesn’t just cry “Hosanna” in the moment of excitement, it stays faithful all the way to the cross.
