The rocks will cry out!

Luke 19: 32-40

Jesus rides along the dusty rode on the back of a colt. He knows that Jerusalem lies ahead of Him, but for now there are people to see and to show concern for. Men, women and children have placed cloaks onto the path as a sign of homage to Him. Many have followed Him down the road and now all of His followers including the disciples, have begun to offer praises and shouts of joyous worship as He strolls by them.  

Imagine the excitement to see the Messiah right in front of you!

What would it be like to have the opportunity to say thank you for the miracles and provision that you witnessed?

"Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
   “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

At that moment, some Pharisees demand that Jesus silence the crowd. I love His response! 

I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.

Often people do not understand our need to thank Jesus for all that He has done for us. They may even act like one of the Pharisees, demanding that we quit talking about all of this Jesus stuff!

I can not keep silent about my Jesus!

He laid down His life so that we may live
He conquered the grave and rose again!
He will return on a glorious day!

Blessed are you Jesus! You:

Saved and redeemed me
Gave me a hope and a future
Promised that you will never leave or forsake me
Filled and sealed me with the Holy Spirit
Prepared a place for me.

I can not keep silent!
