The crowds going ahead of Him and those who followed were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!" Matthew 21:9
The crowds that met Jesus that day had one thing in mind. It was time for the coronation of their king. Hosanna means "save us now". The prophets had spoke of it and they were going to find victory over all of their enemies with Jesus on the throne. Their joy would soon be turned to tears as they witnessed a most difficult week for Jesus and His followers. It was Sunday, but Friday was coming, and Jesus would be on the cross. They would discover later that the real triumphal entry for Jesus was his resurrection from the dead, and ascension to the right hand of God. There the triumphant Lord would sit on His throne and intercede for us forever. Hosanna! Save us now !!
