“If They Kept Quiet,

The Stones Along The Road

Would Burst Into Cheers!”

Scripture

Luke 19

³⁵ So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on.

³⁶ As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him. ³⁷ When he reached the place where the road started down the Mount of Olives, all of his followers began to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderful miracles they had seen.

³⁸ “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!
    Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!”

³⁹ But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!”

⁴⁰ He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”

Observation

The praise and worship is going to be loud in Heaven so lets get used to it right here and now!
The Pharisees were upset because the crowd was wildly praising Jesus as He road into Jerusalem on the donkey. This passage is appropriately called the “Triumphant Entry”. 

The Pharisees told Jesus to tell his followers to stop praising Him. His reply to them, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!” 

Don’t tell those around you to quiet down. Don’t even think it! Join them and praise Jesus with all your heart!

 “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!
    Peace in heaven, and glory in highest heaven!”

Application

Tomorrow at church I will sing loud and with all my heart as I praise Jesus! How about you?  

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I would have liked to have been there the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on that colt. I would have loved to have heard the shouts of praise! Help me to worship You with all my heart. Don’t let me be afraid of what others may think. Help me focus on worshiping You. You are Worthy of Praise!
