SUNDAY CHOICE – PALM SUNDAY-HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST – By Charles Schokman   Today, Christians around the world are celebrating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (which we usually call “Palm Sunday,” because the crowd welcomed Him by spreading palm branches in His path). Those who greeted Him were convinced He was the Messiah (or “anointed one”), sent by God to establish His Kingdom on earth.   Why did the crowds turn against Jesus so quickly? One week they welcomed Him, and the next week they demanded He be crucified.   Billy Graham addressed this important question numerous times in his My Answer column.   “No events in human history were more important than Jesus’ death and resurrection, and yet many people (even Christians) never take time to study them.   It must have been a dramatic sight as Jesus approached Jerusalem on a donkey (which was a sign of His humility).

“EVANGELIST EXTRAORDINAIRE” by Des Kelly He was very close to a century, in age, but has just “passed-on” to carry on his great work, with his Creator, Jesus Christ. Billy Graham, as I remember him, was a superb “orator”, spreading the “Word” of Our Lord, all over the World, to huge audiences who would sit there transfixed hanging onto every word, looking at this man who was an Evangelist Extraordinaire in every sense of the word.            I did have the pleasure of listening to him, even though, unfortunately, I never did get the chance of seeing him, in person, but the absolute “power”of his voice will never be erased from my memory.
