Palm Sunday

Matthew 21:9 is a reflection on a name that has been given to Jesus throughout the Gospels. What does it mean to believe in the Son of David? It means that we believe in a God who, from the beginning, made a plan for the offspring of David, the great king of Israel, to redeem his people with the one True King in Jesus. To believe in the Son of David is to believe in a ruler who has been promised since the days of the great king, and to put our hope in a reality where we will be saved.
