Lord, Save Us!

Mar 29, 2026    Ryan Klotzle

How did the crowds go from shouting "Hosanna!" on Sunday to calling for crucifixion by Thursday? This Palm Sunday, we're confronted with an uncomfortable question: What salvation are we actually seeking?


The people expected Jesus to overthrow Rome. They wanted rescue from their immediate circumstances. But God's plan was so much bigger—rescue from sin itself through the blood of the cross. We still do this today. We cry "Lord, save us!" but what are we asking Him to save us from? Cultural chaos? Financial struggles? Personal pain? These aren't wrong desires, but they can't be our ultimate hope.


Psalm 118 reminds us: "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His faithful love endures forever." Even when nations rage and enemies surround us, we stand as victors in His might. The salvation Jesus offers starts with our souls, redeemed by precious blood.


What salvation are you seeking this Holy Week?
