Save us, please.

Hosanna.
When Christ came riding on a donkey and people were placing palm leaves on the road the people kept shouting “Hosanna”. Now for those of you who didn’t know the word Hosanna is like a prayer or praise. It means “Save us! Please!” When I hear this word a part of me gets sad. This word is a cry for help. It’s like I can feel the pain asking God to help. I’m not asking I am begging him to save me.

We are begging Christ to come and save us. For them it is sin I believe but, today I see it differently. Of course because of what Christ did for us we now have the ability to be free from sin; not pain though. Sin is still there. Weather we do it or someone else. We were born into sin.

There is pain in this world that makes time literally stop. When something unbelievably tragic happens it seems like a dream. Whatever happened isn’t real and we just want to wake up from this nightmare. Can I make examples? Yes. I am sure though right now you know what that feels like. When I hear Hosanna, all I see are people crying out to God. Just wanting Him to wake them up from this dream.

Than we plead with God and yet no answer. We don’t feel Him; than we start to question Him. Questions like; why do bad things happen to good people? Than we begin to not see that actually God is good and He has good things for us. Unfortunately, this world isn’t good. God intended for everything to be good but, of course, something messes it with it. Like flowers. Beautiful and smell awesome. Too bad half of us on this planet are allergic to them. God created the sun and it is good. Than again too much sun causes things like sun burn and cancer. God created life than there is also death. This world is scary. When there is pain there is also good.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28)

I am not going to tell you when you are suffering right now that “something good is going to come out of it”. Sorry, but that is cruel if you ask me. Something good is going to come after the pain though. As human beings we are consistently in trials. It’s all the good things that God has created and given us that makes us better.

So, Hosanna. God please, save us. We need someone to save us. Because all this pain is too much bare on our own.
