Matthew 21:9 - Additional Comments

Note that some went on before Him, to prepare His way, and others followed, giving Him praise.
Hosanna signifies, "Save now, we beseech thee"; referring to Ps. 118:25, 26. It is an exlamation of adoration.
We don't see the chief priests and the scribes here (although they might have been). Jesus came for the multitudes, not the leaders, and typically the multitudes respond to Him, while the leaders do not. We should never be discouraged when we see leaders or famous ignoring the call of Christ, and the multitudes following, because Christ found the same response personally. Plus, Christ looks for hearts, not titles or names of honor.
The multitudes were excited when Jesus arrived! Are you ready fro His arrival? Would you be embarrassed, or gladly welcome Him? If you died and went to meet Him, what thoughts would you have on the way?
