Reading from Luke Chapter 19.
Praise God. Bless the King.
When the Lord Iesou rode on a colt into Jerusalem, the multitude of disciples
- spread their garments on the road for him (19:36)
- rejoiced and praised *God* with a loud voice (19:37)
- saying, "Blessed is the *King* that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest." (19:38)
Note that while the disciples spread garments on the road for the Lord Iesou and his colt to ride over, while they blessed him as the King that comes in the name of the Lord, they did NOT praise nor worship him.
Instead, they praised God, the God of our Lord Iesou, the God in whose Name our Lord and King comes into Jerusalem.
Luke 19:36 - 38 ASV
36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
37 And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;
38 saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
