Revelation 7:9-10 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
You and I didn't get the opportunity to wave palm branches on the first Palm Sunday. But those who were there didn't understand the message and mission of Jesus. They thought they were proclaiming Him as their king who would defeat Rome and give them their independence. They thought Jesus would make them the top world power in the place of Rome. And they were wrong. Jesus came to establish a different kind of kingdom.
If you and I trust in Jesus, we will be in that final crowd, waving palm branches, dressed in white praising God. We will be a part of every tribe, every nation, every language, and every color standing before the throne. But we will all have one message: “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
John 1:12 says, "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,"
It is God's children who will be waving those palm branches and praising God. Will you be there?
