Blessed is He Who Comes | John Wasserman

This powerful exploration of Palm Sunday takes us far beyond the familiar image of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. We discover that this triumphant entry was actually the moment the Lamb of God presented Himself for inspection, mirroring the Passover lamb chosen on the 10th day of Nisan and examined for four days before sacrifice. The crowds shouted 'Hosanna'—a Hebrew cry meaning 'Save now, O Lord' and 'Send now prosperity'—quoting Psalm 118 without fully understanding the depth of what they were declaring. Within days, these same voices would cry 'Crucify Him.' This reveals a sobering truth: we can have confession without revelation. We can quote Scripture, attend church, and go through religious motions while never truly receiving Christ for who He fully is. The message challenges us to move beyond treating Jesus like a restaurant menu where we pick what's convenient and reject what's uncomfortable. True salvation comes when we say with full understanding, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord'—receiving His holiness, His authority, His mission, and His lordship completely. When we genuinely receive Him this way, there will be no desolation in our lives, and we become the house from which blessing flows.
