Today all over the world people will reflect .. and yes .. celebrate Palm Sunday .. the day that Jesus made the tremendous statement that He is the Chosen One .. the King of Kings .. the sovereign ruler over all the Universe .. and no .. the worshipers that day .. they had no idea the extent of this .. haha .. maybe today .. we don’t either .. for the Sanhedrin didn’t believe it .. and the Romans .. they plain just didn’t care .. but yet .. it was the day that He Himself accepted the Kingship of heaven .. even knowing what the week ahead would bring .. think about it .. He entered Jerusalem riding a donkey in the name of a peaceful and sovereign God .. people were worshiping Him with excited and grateful hearts .. they welcomed Him out of their desire for a deliverer .. someone who would lead them in a revolt against Rome .. haha .. oh but friends .. that didn’t happen .. for the truth is .. when He failed their expectations and refused to go on this fiery revolt that they so longed for .. they turned on Him .. haha .. yes .. it was a glorious day yet within short order .. complete human rejection moved in .. His crucifixion was calling and suffering awaited .. oh how my heart aches .. just thinking about what He was about to face .. His own Father would forsake Him and He knew all of this .. but yet .. He still rode into Jerusalem peacefully on that donkey with each one of us in mind .. He rode through the shouts of praise while accepting the anointing of Kingship .. and yes .. He withstood the most grueling of human torture .. and yes it’s sad .. and yes it’s true .. oh but friends .. the story of His triumphant entry is one of variation .. those variations contain pertinent direction for us as Believers today .. it’s a simple .. yet mighty story of the King who came as a lowly servant on a donkey .. not on a high prancing horse .. not in royal clothing .. but clothed as the poor and the humble .. He came not to conquer by force as earthly kings do .. but yes .. by love .. by grace .. by mercy .. and yes .. by His own sacrifice for us .. His people .. for no .. His kingdom is not of armies and the high falootin’ .. but yes .. of lowliness and servant-hood .. no .. He doesn’t conquer nations .. He conquers hearts and minds .. haha .. for yes sweet friends .. His message is one of peace with God .. it’s not temporary .. it last through eternity .. and yes .. it’s when we allow Him to dwell in our heart .. that we too .. are filled with His peace and love .. for yes .. as His followers .. we too .. will exhibit His same qualities .. people loving people .. that’s what His message is all about .. so yes .. again we can shout praise .. that yes .. haha .. oh yeah .. love wins period
“For this is the love of God .. that we keep His commandments .. and His commandments are not burdensome.”
