Hosanna! Bendito aquele que vem em nome do Senhor - Samuel Paulo Santos

·34 min·3 clips

Why did the same crowd that hailed Jesus as king shout 'crucify him' just one week later?

The episode is a Palm Sunday sermon by Samuel Paulo Santos, recorded at Igreja Evangélica O Caminho in Ermesinde, Portugal. Santos begins by noting it is Palm Sunday, a week before Easter, and introduces the theme of Jesus's entry into Jerusalem. He reads from John 12 and Matthew 21, describing how Jesus sent disciples to fetch a donkey and her colt, fulfilling Zechariah 9:9's prophecy about a humble king. Santos explains this prophecy was made 500 years prior during the Medo-Persian empire. He emphasizes the joy and celebration of the crowd, estimated at 2.5 million people in Jerusalem for Passover. The sermon contrasts Jesus's humble entry on a donkey with typical kingly processions involving horses and power. Santos delves into the meaning of 'Hosanna' as a cry for salvation, linking it to the crowd's misunderstanding of Jesus as a political savior. He discusses how Jesus's miracles, like healing the blind and deaf, confirmed his messianic identity. The latter part shifts to Jesus's second coming, referencing Matthew 24-25. Santos warns of false prophets amplified by artificial intelligence and social media. He outlines four lessons: beware of false teachings, live in holiness, use God-given talents, and show mercy to those in need. The sermon concludes with a call to humility, joy, and preparedness for Jesus's return, encouraging listeners to examine their hearts.
