“After telling this story, Jesus went on toward Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples.

As he came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead.

“Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 

If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying that colt?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.”

So, they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said. 

And sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?” 

And the disciples simply replied, “The Lord needs it.” 

So, they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on. 

As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. 

When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.

“Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!” 

But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!” 

He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”

SUNDAY INSPIRATION and PRAYER

April 10, 2022.

Jesus was in the centre of the procession and the people all around Him were shouting, "Praise God for the Son of David! Blessings on the One who comes in the Name of The Lord!"

Matthew 21:9

NLT Bible

Today, believers around the world celebrate Palm Sunday. On that day, our Saviour rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, while crowds paved the road with palm branches and sang praises to Him. Sadly, in just a week, many of them would be part of the crowd that would cry out for Him to be crucified. This day also signals the start of Holy Week leading up to the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus. It's a time when we reflect on the agony and suffering that Jesus willingly endured for us.

 

Just as there were so many back then who sang praises to Jesus, there are countless people today who celebrate this day simply going through the motions without fully understanding the magnitude of what He did for us. Jesus suffered and endured unimaginable agony because of His love for us. Today, we need to pause and internalize all that He did for us, for it's because of Him, our sins are forgiven and we have the promise of eternal life.

Thank you Lord for sending Your Son. I praise and bless Your holy Name. Today I remember all that You did for me and my heart is filled with praise and gratitude. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
