he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
Philippians 2:7,8
The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.
Jeremiah 31:13
God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Matthew 5:4
Jesus of Nazareth, as you rode into Jerusalem, ride into our hearts today. Hear us as we shout, “Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord.” Let us bless you even as you bless and comfort us with freedom, purpose, and joy. Amen.
