Reconciliation with the Father

All of creation waits with eager longing for God to reveal his children.

Rom 8:19

The word Hosanna (or Hosannah) comes from the Hebrew "Hoshana" which is a cry for salvation. "Hosanna" is a joyful shout of praise and adoration to the one who brings salvation. It is an adjective used solely to describe Jesus Christ, the Messiah. The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

As Jesus entered Jerusalem, before the final act that would redeem the souls of man forever, crowds gathered, excited in their spirits they burst out with the cry. "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!". The religous leaders were angered:

Then some of the Pharisees in the crowd spoke to Jesus. "Teacher," they said, "command your disciples to be quiet!"
Jesus answered, "I tell you that if they keep quiet, the stones themselves will start shouting."

Luke 19:39-40

Hallelujah! All of creation was excited at the act that was about to take place. Reconciliation with the Father. That is the principle desire that burns in the heart of every man woman and child. Jesus does a lot for us, in our lives. Our joy comes from the things that bring God joy. But salvation cannot be based on that. Salvation cannot be based on emotion or whim, obligation or greed. True salvation must come from a person's inner-most desire for redemption to the Father.
