• Palm Sunday represented Jesus coming as the king of peace, riding on a donkey instead of a conquering stallion
• The word "Hosanna" means both "save us" and celebrates that salvation has come
• Our tears matter deeply to God – Psalm 56:8 says He collects them in a bottle and records them in His book

• Godly sorrow leads to salvation while worldly sorrow leads to death
