As we leave behind the glorious entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem on Sunday, the palm branches and cloaks scattered on His path are also gone. The bare dirt and pebbles along the path now squeeze between His toes.
Monday
Jesus' first stop in Jerusalem, the Temple...
Jesus' first stop in Jerusalem, the Temple...
Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the table of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves... He said, "My house will be call a house of prayer, but you are making it a den for robbers." Matt. 21:12-13
Later that day, He tells His disciples...
"I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt,... you can say to this mountain, 'Go throw yourself into the sea, and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matt. 21:21-22
Jesus' last week on earth was not a walk in the park; it was filled with difficult and trying work. The Army wants a few good men, but God wants ALL to come Home -- to His amazing, saving grace and eternal life.
Thank You, Father!
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,

personal note: The past few weeks have been difficult, confusing and turbulent, and a peaceful end is nowhere in sight. Refocusing on God's incredible love is exactly what we need now for direction, restoration and strength. As in the past years, all my devotions this week will center on God's Easter gift of eternal life made possible for you and me through His Son, Jesus. It's what we need... He's what we need.
