Lk19

It's holy week! What will we do to prepare ourselves for Easter? Share the good news with someone? Invite a friend to an Easter service? Worship with all our hearts? All these are good ideas.

This chapter describes Palm Sunday. Jesus triumphantly entered into Jerusalem while the crowds shouted, "The King who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One." The crowd was joyfully praising Jesus. When Jesus was asked to quiet them by the religious leaders He said, "I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out!" (Unfortunately they keep shouting, so we are unable to have heard about the rocks shouting praise.)

These SAME people will be shouting, "Crucify Him, Crucify Him" in just 5 days! What a tragedy. What an awesome reality. I want to be among those who praise continuously. I don't want to simply praise Jesus one day a week or on Easter. I want my life to be praise to God.

Let's keep the rocks silent.
