I know, I know. I said I was gonna post my thoughts about the crowds that cheered and jeered Christ. I have it drafted, and I’ll still post it. Just gotta work out some of the kinks. Got some other things in the hopper that I wanna post first.

Cheers and/or Jeers – Were the “Hosanna” and the “Crucify” Crowds the Same?
An often used phrase this time of year goes something like this…
The same people who proclaimed “Hosanna” on Palm Sunday would later cry “Crucify Him” at Christ’s crucifixion.
I love the variety of information that I glean from the various RSS feeds to which I am subscribed. On Monday, I read two very different takes on the crowds which cheered Jesus and the crowds which jeered Jesus and called for His execution. I would encourage you to read both posts, as they approach the issue from two very different angles.
I have heard and used the above phrase for as long as I can remember. Honestly, I never really thought about its validity. In these days before Easter, I intend to study this topic, and will post my thoughts later this week.
As you read and study, feel free to try to persuade my upcoming post! What’s your take? Same or different crowd? Why?

Today Was a Great Palm Sunday!
What a great day at church! Our children’s ministry did a wonderful job on their Easter musical. Lyd had a solo on You Are My King, and Tony held the cross as two other boys knelt (I had seen it multiple times before and it still gripped me).
Also, today was Lyd’s first communion as a believer in Christ, and it was my first day back behind the keyboard at LBT. And full altars are always a good thing.
How was your Palm Sunday?
