Jesus’ Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem

“Say to the daughter of Zion, “See your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” ” Matthew 21:5 N.I.V

The gentle and humble Savior Jesus Christ rides into our hearts proclaiming his Kingdom. He does not come riding a horse to wage war on us, but a gentle colt to secure our way to gain peace with God.  Have you spread your cloak on the road to your heart, and cut branches from the trees to hail him and shout, “Hosanna in the highest”.

Note that the first thing that Jesus did when he entered Jerusalem was to clear the temple of commercial activities that had usurped the use of the Lord’s temple as a house of prayer. Is your heart clean for the Lord? Search carefully so that whatever is in there that interferes with the true worship of the Lord is routed out and sing Hosanna in welcome to the Lord in your heart.

“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan -- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”

~Abraham Lincoln.
