Thought of the Day !!

Most of the crowd spread their coats on the road ahead of Jesus, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. He was in the center of the procession, and the crowds all around him were shouting,

"Praise God for the Son of David! Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God in highest heaven!"

The entire city of Jerusalem was stirred as he entered. "Who is this?" they asked.

And the crowds replied, "It's Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee."


Matthew 21:8-11 (NLT)

"Who is this?", was the question on the people's minds in a city that was being stirred up. "It's Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee." But just who is this Jesus though? He was the one that entered the city of Jerusalem by shouts of Hosanna (or Praise God) and left by shouts of crucify! He is the one who would heal and bring comfort at the temple, as well as disturb the religious folk that ran it. He is the one who would warn everyone to be ready and give a scary account of what Judgment day would be like. He is radical. He is different from anything else in this world. He is God's Son. He is Lord!

Who is He for you? Do you cheer for him on Sunday mornings while leaving those cheers behind in an empty church at noontime? Or is He the one that walks daily with you and relieves your burdens and encourages you and pushes you and washes your feet? Ponder this question today and see if you can come up with an honest answer of just who He is for you?

In the love of Christ,
