March 12th

This week we begin exploring Jesus' journey to the cross. Today we learned about Palm Sunday.

From The Beginner's Bible

Make Way for the King

John 12

Two of Jesus' friends went to look for a donkey.

Jesus had told them just where to find it.

It whirl be tied right by the village gate.

It was going to be a special donkey.

Jesus was going to ride on it.

When the friends found the donkey, they took it to Jesus. 

They  put their cots on its back, and Jesus got on.

When the people saw Jesus coming, they began to shout with joy.

"Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is the King 

who comes in the name of the Lord!"

Some people cut branches off the palm tress. 

They laid the branches o the road.

Other people spread their coats on the road.

 And they ll praised God in loud voices for the wonderful things

Jesus had done. 

Jesus rode to the big city of Jerusalem.

 They crowds followed him.

The leaders of the people were angry.

"See how all the people follow Jesus now?

They do not follow us anymore.

We must get rid of Jesus," they said.
