Today begins our Holy Week with remembrance of Jesus' riding into Jerusalem on a donkey's back as people waved and laid palm branches in His pathway to honor the King of the Jews. Little did they know He was also to become the King of ALL Mankind and Savior of the World to all who would believe and receive Him into their hearts.
Amazing how Jesus could go into this city knowing the destiny that lay ahead and still behold His people so lovingly! Knowing they would be proclaiming false accusations causing Him to be tortured and then crucified on that old rugged cross! Being innocent of all charges except Love beyond measure, He continued on the pathway He now traveled.
Can you name just one person who could have done the same while holding the power to end it at any time? I say no! No indeed! But God in all His glory, In all His Love and Mercy, came and fulfilled All that was needed for our total freedom in Him. Having been guilty of NOTHING, He took all our sins upon Himself upon that cross so you and I could be Free.
Today as we gather for worship, may we never forget our Lord Jesus and all He endured for you and I to rejoice today! Worship is not about you and me but about Jesus: Our Deliverer, Healer, and Redeemer, Savior of all who will believe and receive Him as their Lord and Savior today!
"To God be the glory, Great Things He has done, So Loved He the world that He gave us His Son. Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, and opened the Life gate that All may go in. Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Let the earth hear His voice, Praise the Lord Praise the Lord, Let the People rejoice; Oh come to the Father through Jesus the Son, and give Him the glory great things He has done!"
Have a wonderfully blessed day dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
