" And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way ; others cut down branches from the trees , and strawed them in the way . And the multitudes that went before , and that followed , cried , saying , Hosanna to the son of David : Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord ; Hosanna in the highest ." [ Matthew 21 ; 8-9 ] King Jesus was passing by ! What an exciting time it must have been for the crowd ! I believe praise could have been heard far away . What a special and joyous time when Jesus passed by ! Jesus was still , however , on the road to the cross , where He would shed his precious blood for sin .

Awesome things can happen today when Jesus passes by ! Just as the time Jesus came riding , great joy and praise can be displayed when He passes by . I remember when He passed by my life . He changed my heart when He passed by , and I am a different person today , thanks to Jesus ! Praise His sweet and glorious name ! I have been saved from the penalty of sin because Jesus passed by !

People can be healed when Jesus passes by ! In Mark 10 a bind person was healed after Jesus passed by . What an impact Jesus had on his life ! Jesus can still heal today , but people must exercise faith . Can you feel Him passing by you ? Reach out and touch Him as He passes by ! What power there is when Jesus passes by ! I can feel Him right now ! If you don’t know Jesus , your life can be forever changed if you’ll reach out for the Lord as He is passing by ! You can be assured Jesus has been reaching out for you . At the cross he reached out for all who would need him ! Ephesians 2:8 says : " For by grace ye are saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves : it is the gift of God :" Believe today , that Jesus is God’s risen son , if you don’t know Him . Make a public confession of this knowledge . You’ll never be the same because Jesus passed by !
