Palm Sunday DEVO
Notes
Transcript
1 As Jesus and the disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the town of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead.
2 “Go into the village over there,” he said. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey tied there, with its colt beside it. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 If anyone asks what you are doing, just say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will immediately let you take them.”
4 This took place to fulfill the prophecy that said,
5 “Tell the people of Jerusalem, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, riding on a donkey— riding on a donkey’s colt.’ ”
6 The two disciples did as Jesus commanded.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt to him and threw their garments over the colt, and he sat on it.
8 Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9 Jesus was in the center 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! Praise God in highest heaven!”
10 The entire city of Jerusalem was in an uproar as he entered. “Who is this?” they asked.
11 And the crowds replied, “It’s Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Today is Palm Sunday and we celebrate that glorious entrance of Christ into Jerusalem.
However, there is a very important question we should be asking ourselves...
Is Jesus our KING???
It was the first organized event to recognize Jesus as King in the WORLD --- however, the same crowd that Hailed Him King on what we call Palm Sunday, is the same crowd that screamed CRUCIFY HIM a few days later!
WHY? Because they were led by their desires and expectations, not the DIVINE PLAN OF GOD!
Take a few minutes today and discuss with your family or ponder personally --- do i treat Jesus as my LORD AND KING or someone who I want to control to meet my expectations?
My plan or HIS PLAN??? What a great thing to consider as we start this HOLY WEEK!
