Read: Matthew 21:1-17
Palm Sunday was a very emotional time for Jesus. He entered Jerusalem and multitudes followed him crying Hosanna to the Son of David. Great rejoicing happened in the streets as they witness Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. Later in the week some of these same people possibly cried, "Crucify Him, Crucify Him!"
On Monday morning Jesus enters the temple to find men that had made His house a hiding place for thieves. Jesus turned the tables over and rebuked the activity happening in the temple. Jesus literally ran out the thieves from the temple!
But something else more significant happened in Jerusalem.
"Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and he healed them."
As we take this journey this week through Jerusalem and the surrounding areas I encourage you to notice three things:
- Jesus provided a safe place for people to come to worship Him.
- The blind and the lame came to Him and He healed them.
- The children sing praises to God and it was noticed by the rulers of the city.
This week let's provide that "safe place" for people to join us in worship. Let's pray and believe for miracles this Sunday. Let's sing out a song of praise so that others may hear.
It is my prayer that this Easter Sunday is the best yet in your place of worship.
