Beyond the Surface: The Real Meaning Behind Hosanna

In Hebrew, hoshi a na meant Save us, please! A desperate cry from the psalms.

In the New Testament when Jesus entered Jerusalem, Hosanna took on a second meaning “you are the one who saves.” So, when Christians cry Hosanna it’s a plea and a praise.

We still need saving but we recognize the one who came to save us. If this spoke to you, consider sharing it with others—and we'd be grateful to hear your reflections in the comments.
