In church today, Ps Reuben preached yet another awesome sermon, this time about the significance of Palm Sunday, and how it was linked to the selection of an umblemished lamb on the 10th day of Nisan as recorded in Exodus 12.
Ps Reuben shared about how as a young boy growing up in Sunday School, he would look forward to Christmas Eve and Palm Sunday each year. At Christmas Eve, they were each given candle to pass the flame, and he enjoyed blowing out his friends' candles at the end of the service. At Palm Sunday, they were each given palm leaves to wave, and he enjoyed using them as make-believe swords.
That's what endears people to Ps Reuben. He preaches with such sincerity and passion. And like Ps Prince, he does not need to refer to a script!!! The Holy Spirit guides him along and prompts him as to what to say next.
Anyway, there was a stage in his life that he did not look forward to celebrating Palm Sunday, because he did not want to be identified with the crowd that shouted "Hosanna!" one moment only to shout "Crucify Him!" a few days later. Recently, he had a change of heart after God showed him the significance of Palm Sunday in the light of Exodus 12.
You can listen to that sermon (as well as all his other sermons) here.
