Scripture

The Triumphal Entry

John 12

12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 13 They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
"Hosanna!"
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
"Blessed is the King of Israel!" 14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat upon it, as it is written,
15 "Do not be afraid, O Daughter of Zion;
see, your king is coming,
seated on a donkey's colt."

Observation

“Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, and Heaven and nature sing.”

“All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).” Isaiah 7:14

She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them. Luke 2:7

How Jesus came to this earth the first time will be quite different from His second coming. He came the first time as a babe in the manger, but when He returns the second time He will return as Victorious King.

Application

I am making sure that I have room in my heart for Jesus this Christmas! How about you?


Prayer

Heavenly Father, I love the Christmas story. I love to read it over and over again. It is amazing to me. Only You could have ever planned it. You created it. We try so hard to enjoy it, but so much of what we try to enjoy is not part of it. Thank you for your Indescribable gift. Thank you for coming to this earth. You are worthy to be Praised. Amen.
