TEXT: Luke
19:28-40
28.
After Jesus said this, he went on in front of them toward Jerusalem.
29. As
he came near Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two
disciples ahead
30.
with these instructions: “Go to the village there ahead of you; as you go in,
you will find a colt tied up that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it
here.
31. If
someone asks you why you are untying it, tell him that the Master needs it.”
32.
They went on their way and found everything just as Jesus had told them.
33. As
they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying it?”
34.
“The Master needs it,” they answered,
35. and
they took the colt to Jesus. Then they threw their cloaks over the animal and
helped Jesus get on.
36. As
he rode on, people spread their cloaks on the road.
37.
When he came near Jerusalem, at the place where the road went down the Mount of
Olives, the large crowd of his disciples began to thank God and praise him in
loud voices for all the great things that they had seen:
38.
“God bless the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and
glory to God!”
39.
Then some of the Pharisees in the crowd spoke to Jesus. “Teacher,” they said,
“command your disciples to be quiet!”
40.
Jesus answered, “I tell you that if they keep quiet, the stones themselves will
start shouting.”

TOPIC: CELEBRATE
JESUS
When Jesus instructed His
disciples to go and untie a donkey, they did so without the owner challenging
them. He rode on the donkey and His disciples and followers decided to honor
Him by dressing the donkey and throwing their garments on the road ahead of Him
and they sang songs praising Him.
This reminds us about Palm
Sunday when Christians decorate their churches with palm fronds, singing songs
of praise, dancing and rejoicing because Jesus Christ is the Messiah and,
indeed, the savior of the world.
Jesus wants us to sing songs
of praise, dance, rejoice in Him and proclaim Him because He is our Lord and
savior.
QUESTION: Is
there anything hindering you from celebrating Jesus?
PRAYER:
remove from my life, O Lord, anything that will not allow me celebrate You,
Amen.
Remain
Blessed
