(Luke 19:1-36; Luke 19:37-40 ESV) As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
(Luke 19:1-36; Luke 19:37-40 ESV)
I remember when there was a time that I just sat an listened to this in Chruch....blah...blah...blah...
then...My life in Christ started to change. My walk with Christ changed and now this morning as I listened to this read in Church my chest tightened. I wondered if all these people rejoicing and praising God knew what would happen in the comming week to Christ? I wonder what I would have done had I been there.
I love the song by Mercy Me "I can only imagine", not only do I imagine what it will be like when I face Jesus in heaven but I wonder what I would have done if I'd have met Jesus then. As He rode into the city on a colt. Would I have been there waving palm leaves praising Him.
Would I be one of the crowd yelling "crucify Him" or would I stand there with tears running down my face with my heart screaming out for Him. Would I run and like Peter deny I knew who Jesus was.
This is a week of many emotions for Christians. It really brings to the surface just what Christ did for us. Read the verses this week. Walk with Christ always. I want to walk as a child of God and I pray that everything I do and say glorifys Him.
God Bless you all this week!
