Reader 2
Welcome and prayer
This past week started out with the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem - the crowd shouting and praising God, laying their coats before Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem.
The Bible says that when He entered into Jerusalem the whole city was stirred.
It was EXCITING!
Hosanna, Loud Hosanna by - Jeannette Threlfall sung to the tune from I Sing the Mighty Power of God
a Capella
Verse 1
Hosanna loud hosanna - The little children sang
Through pillared court and temple - The lovely anthem rang
To Jesus who had blessed them - Close folded to His breast
The children sang their praises - The simplest and the best
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 2
From Olivet they followed - 'Mid an exultant crowd
The victor palm branch waving - And chanting clear and loud
The LORD of earth and heaven - Rode on in lowly state
Nor scorned that little children - Should on His bidding wait
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Song - “The Name of the LORD” with lyrics revised for Palm Sunday
Verse
Blest is He who comes in the name - Blest is He who comes in the name
Blest is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Blest is He who comes in the name - Blest is He who comes in the name
Blest is He who comes in the name of the LORD
Chorus
We cry Hosanna! To the Son of David - We cry Hosanna! To the King
We cry Hosanna! To the Son of David - We cry Hosanna! To the King
Verse
Blest is He who comes in the name - Blest is He who comes in the name
Blest is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Blest is He who comes in the name - Blest is He who comes in the name
Blest is He who comes in the name of the LORD

Reader 1
How did we get from celebration and “Hosanna In The Highest” to
“Crucify Him! Crucify Him!”?
The Last Supper - The upper room and the Passover Supper have been prepared - The Lord is eating with His disciples - In the past He had told them that He would be betrayed but now He tells them that the betrayer is actually one of them. Then Jesus takes the bread and the cup and does something that they had never expected.
Reader 2
“When the hour came, Jesus and His apostles reclined at the table. And He said to them, ‘I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.’
“After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’
“And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’
“In the same way, after the supper He took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you. But the hand of him who is going to betray Me is with mine on the table. The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!’
“They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this.”

Reader 2
1 Corinthians 11:23b-24 NIV
“The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’”
Receive the bread with thankful hearts and remember His suffering for you.
“In the same way, after supper Jesus took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
Receive the cup with thankful hearts and remember the death of Jesus.
Song
Lead Me to Calvary
King of my life I crown Thee now - Thine shall the glory be
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow - Lead me to Calvary
Lest I forget Gethsemane - Lest I forget Thine agony
Lest I forget Thy love for me - Lead me to Calvary
