Spend the first day of Holy Week in scripture and prayer with this simple Palm Sunday devotional that features key Palm Sunday bible verses and a little inspiration.
Palm Sunday Devotional
This simple Palm Sunday devotional is straight from the heart, you guys!
As I sit here on this Palm Sunday, I’m reminded of the ultimate sacrifice our Lord and Savior made for us on that dark day, over 2,000 years ago.
We are such a broken, sinful, and prideful people, yet Jesus still finds us incredibly valuable!
So valuable in fact, that He gave up His life so that we can have an everlasting one.
It’s so hard to even wrap my head around the fact that someone would do this for me.
I am so undeserving of His extreme love. However, I am incredibly thankful for His overwhelming mercy and selfless sacrifice.
Today is a great time to sit back and reflect on what this coming week truly represents.
As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people cried out Hosanna while waving palm branches to greet Him.
What an incredible sight that must have been!
Then, only a short week later, everything changed.
Not only was Jesus betrayed by one of His very own, but a second disciple denied even knowing Jesus at all.
Jesus was then arrested, severely beaten, and dished up a terrible punishment in the place of a murderer!
He was blameless, yet, he took on more than 1,000 lifetime’s worth of trials and sin.
How difficult it must have been to bear the sin of the entire world.
We all know the wonderful ending to this story though.
A resurrected Savior that is waiting for us to turn to Him, with nothing but open arms and a love undeserved.

I challenge you to spend time in the Word every day this week.
