[Weekly Scripture] 1 John 1:8–9 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Psalms 118:26-27 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD. The LORD is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar!
Mark 11:4-10 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
Are you thankful for He who has come in the name of the Lord?
What is the most recent blessing that you thanked Him for?
Pray thanks to God for your blessings.

Today’s verses tell us of the light God provided to shine on us and they tell us of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The verses call our attention to our Savior and the celebration of the people as they shouted “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”. Have you reflected on the blessedness of our Savior? He who comes in the name of the Lord loves you, He wants you to know Him more and He has provided an eternal future for you. He came on your behalf and paid the sacrifice required for your eternal future. Take time today to reflect on the blessedness of Jesus, thank Him for the love He has for you and celebrate His presence as the people did on that triumphant day in Jerusalem.
Truly we are blessed by the love, grace and mercy of our Savior, Jesus
