棕枝节

Today is Palm Sunday, there's no palm leaves today in the church but that remind me the scene when I am back in Sibu 新福源堂, Every Palm Sunday there will be palm leaves giving out for everyone and during the worshiping usually will lift the palm leaves up high to sing Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the Highest!! Sometimes there will be drama interpreting Jesus went into Jerusalem and everyone is welcoming him along the pathway and lift the palm leaves up high and shout Hosanna !!!!

The video below is not the typical Hosanna we used to sing.. hardly find the typical one on youtube with good quality




受难周第一日

手拿棕树枝，高呼“和散那”，耶路撒冷的百姓倾城而出，迎接那奉主 名而来的君王。但这位君王没有驾着战车而来，没有骑着骏马而来，他手拿棕树枝，高呼“和散那”，耶路撒冷的百姓倾城而出，迎接那奉主 名而来的君王。但这位君王没有驾着战车而来，没有骑着骏马而来，他的坐骑只是一匹驴驹。他高贵，却又谦卑；他尊荣，却又平凡。他是王，却无帝王的威风；他 是主，却无人主的盛气。

他是主，却象奴仆伺候自己的门徒；他是王，却没有登上王宫的宝座。他的“宝座”设于各各他山，他作王的称号高悬于 十架之上。这就是万口称颂、万膝跪拜的万主之主、万王之王：他威严与尊贵，蕴藏于卑微与屈辱之中；他舍己，忍受父的离弃，但却以他的软弱吸引并征服万人！的坐骑只是一匹驴驹。他高贵，却又谦卑；他尊荣，却又平凡。他是王，却无帝王的威风；他 是主，却无人主的盛气。

錫安的民哪、應當大大喜樂‧耶路撒冷的民哪、應當歡呼‧看哪、你的王來到你這裏‧祂是公義的、並且施行拯救、謙謙和和的騎着驢、就是騎着驢的駒子。
