Psalm Of The Palms

Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29

Open the gates! Here comes the light of the world! Open the gates!

I can just imagine what that day would have been like. Streets filled with hundreds of people. Palms waiving in the air as people lay their coats on the ground so that the donkey which carried the Messiah had a soft path to walk on. Hosannas and Alleluias ringing in the air as those surrounding the entrance recall the words of this Psalm.

Praises of thanks that the answers of the people have finally been answered. Shouts of joy as finally, finally they will receive the promises of God. Eyes and souls filled with awe as the cornerstone of their future is finally being laid.

The people gathered on that triumphant day would certainly have understood that the day the Lord has made is most definitely that day, and before them is the all-enduring, never-ending love they had been waiting lifetimes for.

Open the gates!
