Women in Fellowship and Encouragement

  As we enter Holy Week and join Jesus in His entrance into Jerusalem, we echo the cry of the crowd: “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”  ( Psalm 118: 26 ) With the fullness of Scripture as our guide, we now understand what they could not fully see—we worship with gratitude for God’s deliverance and victory, declaring: “His steadfast love endures forever.” Psalms 113–118, known as the Hallel, were sung at Jewish festivals as songs of thanksgiving. Psalm 118 stands as a communal call to rejoice in God’s mercy, His protection, and His saving power. Yet Palm Sunday invites us into a deeper mystery: The One we praise as King is the One who will lay down His life. So we cry, Hosanna — “Save now,” once a plea… now a praise. Hosanna.
