Holy Week Day 1

Today is Psalm Sunday (Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem):

Where the story is found: Matt 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44; John 12:12-36

Prophecy fulfilled: "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." (Zechariah 9:9)

Discussion: (See tomorrow's post for the answers)

1. How did his apostles acquire a donkey for Jesus to ride on?

2. Why did they use palm frawns (branches) to welcome the Lord into Jerusalem?

3. What is the meaning of Hosanna?

Apostolic thought/song: (please click the URL below, as it wont let me embed it. Thanks)

CHALLENGE: Try to listen only to Christian, LDS or instrumental music this week.

Here is an AMAZING article of Christ's last week: http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=4a57eafcee340210VgnVCM100000176f620a____
