JESUS rode the donkey into Jerusalem

So, as JESUS rode the donkey into Jerusalem, the crowds were perfectly right to shout “Hosanna!” 

They were acknowledging JESUS as their Messiah, as shown in their address “Son of David.” 

Theirs was a cry for salvation and a recognition that JESUS  is able to save.



Later that day, JESUS was in the temple, and the children present were again shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” 

(Matthew 21:15).

 The chief priests and the teachers of the Law were displeased: “‘Do you hear what these children are saying?’ they asked him. 

‘Yes,’ replied JESUS, ‘have you never read, “From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise”’?” (Matthew 21:16). 

 In saying, “Hosanna!” the people were crying out for salvation, and that’s exactly why JESUS had come. 

Within a week  JESUS  would be hanging on a cross.
