When Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey the people shouted: Matthew 21:6-9 "Praise God for the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God in Highest Heaven!"
Jesus was greeted in a manner that was appropriate. He was recognized as the Son of God, yet was soon to be tortured and killed by the people of that City. Religious leaders chose to destroy Him. Why? Because He preached Peace and Love in place of hypocritical religious practices. Jesus lived the love of God and laid down His life in a perfect sacrifice of love. Love for you and me and the whole world.
May we spend quality time meditating on the price of perfect love. During this coming week, begin each day with a picture of love that Jesus displayed for us by His Precious Blood being shed for us. Let us look at the precious children of God, our neighbors and family members for whom Jesus suffered and died and LOVE them.
Enough of selfish living! Enough of judging others by their appearance or church affiliation or gender. Enough of holding grudges and failure to forgive. We must stop acting as though Jesus' loving sacrifice was just a foot note in history.
Jesus LIVES. HE IS THE LIVING GOD, WITH US NOW IN SPIRIT, AND COMING SOON IN PERSON TO BRING THE BELIEVING FLOCK TO ETERNAL GLORY WITH HIM. JESUS IS GOD!!! LOVE HIM BY OBEYING HIM AND YOU WILL BE LOVING FATHER GOD.
GLORY TO GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!

Dad,
As we were using your blog for our bible study Gregory said,
"Mom,When Jesus entered the city, the people shouted, "BLESSED IS THE CHRIST!" Less than one week later the same people shouted CRUICFY HIM...it's so sad Mom"
This has caused us to look at our daily walk with Jesus...how many times have we been deep in Praise and Worship and then moments later deny Jesus by thougths, actions?
This week brings us back to reflection on the Price paid for our Salvation.
Thank you Dad for allowing the Holy Spirit to minister through you.
Love,
Dee
