Thoughts From the Bible

Read Mark 1 1:   1-11-   Jesus told the disciples where they would find a colt and what would happen when they did. Everything happened just as He said. Even though you had seen many wondrous things, w ouldn’t that slap you to attention to who Jesus really was? Then in verses 9 and 10 we read,  ‘(9) Then those who went before and those who followed crie d out, saying, “Hosanna! Blessed is He whom comes in the name of the Lord! (10) Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”’   After reading this passage of scripture, when was the last time I exclaimed, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!?” I  must  examine myself and I find my worship and praise of  Jesus wanting. I need to find the excitement the people in Jerusalem found when Jesus came and they threw their clothes and palm branches in front of Jesus.  Am I simply praising Jesus the ways  I should?    Prove...

Read M atthew 21: 6- 11 -   Verse 9 of this passage of scripture says,  ‘And the crowds that went before Him and that  followed Him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”’   Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem became quite the event. This may have been the largest celebration of who Jesus really was since His birth when the angels sang and the shepherds worshipped.  When was the last time I worshipped and sang His praises with such vigor? The people  were excited and that is something we need to remember as we  go through our Christian lives. We have so much to be grateful for in our lives with Christ. We need to not lose the excitement that  comes with knowing Christ loves us.
