Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
The word 'hosanna' literally means to save, or save us. The ones who are crying out as Jesus marches into Jerusalem are asking Jesus to save them. They are asking Jesus, who they see as a king, to save them from Rome. They are asking Jesus to save them from future invasions. In shouting hosanna they are asking Jesus to save them. But what they do not know is that Jesus is going to save them. Jesus is going to die on the cross to forgive them from all of their sins. They are crying out to Jesus to save them, and they don't even know that he is going to. Jesus is going to save them, from sin. We shout hosanna, asking Jesus to save us, and we celebrate the good news that through him we are saved. God bless you.
