There's something about Palm Sunday every year that makes the shame and pain of the Cross seem farther away than ever. There seems to be no Cross in view in the hearts and minds of people shouting "Hosanna" to Jesus Christ. We now know, however, that some of the same voices that shouted "Hosanna" on Sunday shouted "Crucify Him" the next Friday.
Still, Palm Sunday is amazing. He has arrived. The King is home. The war is over. The wait is over. Victory!
In a way, Palm Sunday will happen again. He will return triumphantly. When all on earth seems stale and lifeless, Christ is fresher and fuller than ever. For believers, His promises grow in glory with each passing day. We still shout, "Hosanna."
