*Palm Sunday?*
-Eddy Joel Silsbee
Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is always King.
We read simply as branches of the trees in Mark 11: 8 & Matt. 21: 8 when Jesus was entering this time in Jerusalem. Not only branches but also garments were spread out in the streets - Mark 11: 8 & Matt. 21: 8.
Also, Mark and Luke pointed out that the donkey they bought for Christ was a donkey that no one had ever ridden. Matthew did not give this information. Mark 11: 4-7, Luke 19: 32-35, Matthew 21: 4-5
When Jesus Christ came to Jerusalem the people cheered and welcomed him - Matthew 21: 4-9
Some scholars have compared this notion of the donkey (mother donkey) to the accustomed donkey as Jews and the baby donkey as to gentiles who did not know the Commandments. There is no scriptural evidence for that .. just an imagination only !!
In the Bible, which has a history of Christians about 60-70 years after the crucifixion of Christ, there is no scripture that says that any of the disciples, the early Christians, clung to a Sunday called the *Palm Sunday* by holding these leaves.
There is no festival in the Bible called Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter, or Christmas, except the Lord's Table.
Bringing home a cross made on this leaves and securing at home or inside the Bible and paying respect to it, "*symbolizes idolatry*" Exo. 20: 4
God hates idolaters. Exo. 30:38
Remembering Christ's death on the first day of the week is Biblical and mandatory.
Let us live as Christians and honour by remembering the Lord's death, not to cling with worldly custom which shows your resistance to obey the Word of God.
He is still alive today and rules the Entire World as KING. We have to obey The King's command. 1 Corinthians 15:24, Acts. 2:36
