Hosanna

25. What is your struggle? And how will be overcome it? Through Christ who will rescue us or save us .There are three things Christ does for us.

26. First, remember that when Christ He returns we will be glorified and we will no longer have that sinful nature. That give us hope.

27. Second, we need not fear that these sins will not take away our salvation. For listen to Romans 8:1:

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

That give us assurance.

28. Thirdly, as Romans 8 tells us, Christ has sent the Holy Spirit who helps us to live more holy lives.

29. But we do struggle. Paul tells us in Romans 8 that we are to live according to the Spirit. To set our minds on what the Spirit desires.

30. That means that we need to keep our eyes fixed on Christ. To call out to Him to save us and rescue us from our sins. To admit that we need His help. Not to seek to overcome our sins by our own efforts but to daily admit that even as Christians, we need Christ.

31. Not to feel like we are to hide our sins from others, from ourselves, from God. To pretend that being a Christian means to be sinless. That is a sin in itself - spiritual pride. To admit our sins and continued need for Christ.

32. May hosanna be a word not just heard on Palm Sunday, but may we daily ask Christ, through His Spirit, to save us from the sin that clings to us.

33. As we do, we will experience victories, and we will praise God for them. Hosanna in the highest.
