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

.

King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Jesus came triumphantly riding into Jerusalem on a colt with the crowds spreading out their garments on the road ahead of Him for Him to ride on!

Nothing could contain the excitement! Nothing could contain the people’s joy!

The Pharisees tried to silence them.

They told Jesus to make the people stop, but His reply to them was that nothing was going to stop this celebration! The triumphant entry into Jerusalem was something that no one or no thing could stop.

He was coming into Jerusalem to finish what He had come to earth to do!

He was triumphantly riding into Jerusalem to die for me and to die for you! And triumphantly He came back to life on the third day victorious over death! He is Worthy of our praise!

Lets give Him our praise!

.
 Application


I will praise Him! How about you? 

.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I would love to have been there when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the colt. I would love to have seen and heard all the people praising Him along the way. Help me to worship and praise You today with all of my heart. Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and He is Worthy of all praise!
