What does the Bible say about the meaning of Hosanna?

Answered in 1 source

The word 'Hosanna' means 'save now', expressing a plea for salvation.

In biblical context, 'Hosanna' is a Hebrew phrase that translates to 'save now'. It signifies a deep cry for divine intervention, particularly in the area of salvation. This expression is seen during Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem where the crowds shouted 'Hosanna in the highest', recognizing Jesus as the one sent by God to save them. This plea encompasses not only the request for physical or political salvation but ultimately points to the need for spiritual deliverance from sin. Thus, 'Hosanna' is a profound acknowledgment of Jesus as the sin-atoning sacrifice and the Savior.
