What Does “Hosanna” Mean in the Bible?

“Hosanna” sounds like praise, but that is not how the word began. Its story reaches back to Psalm 118, a cry for rescue, the road into Jerusalem, the title “Son of David,” and finally the cross. What started as “Save us” became something deeper—a plea filled with hope, spoken toward the One believed to bring salvation. Understanding Hosanna changes the way Palm Sunday sounds forever. 00:00 What Did “Hosanna” Really Mean? 02:28 The Ancient Cry Behind Hosanna 04:54 Why Jesus Rode a Donkey 07:15 What Did They Want to Be Saved From? 09:48 The Strange Answer to “Save Us” 12:53 How Hosanna Changed Forever 14:26 What Hosanna Really Means for Us #Hosanna #BibleExplained #PalmSunday #JesusChrist #BibleStudy
