Our paragraph topic is: (Triumphal entry into Jerusalem) Part 4.
The word spread: "He's here, He's here." And the people came out to meet him and to greet him and to see him. They had heard the words spoken about him. Many had seen him before and knew that he would come to the celebration. Others who lived in Jerusalem did not know and had not heard the word. But for those who came for the celebration, they knew.
The Messiah had come. Christ came to the celebration and the people rejoiced. And the crowds that went before him, and those that followed, kept crying out, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
They celebrated and they rejoiced because they knew that something good was about to happen. They knew that where he was, miracles were happening. They knew that where he was the sick were being cured, the lame were walking, the blind were seeing and the dead were being brought back to life. They had heard the word of his deeds. They knew that now all the injustices that they suffered at the hands of their rulers would come to an end. The Messiah had arrived and they rejoiced over his coming. Little did they know what his coming meant, the horror that they would see, and the sadness they would face over his loss.
Many today wish that the Messiah would come. You see signs on every corner proclaiming his return. Many suffer. Many are downtrodden. Many seek justice. Many want peace. Yet these things will not come. Not today, not tomorrow, not until the word has been fulfilled will the Messiah come again. And only the Father knows when that time will happen.
They rejoiced in Jerusalem when he came. How much more will we rejoice when he comes. But will we be ready for that time? Will we ready prepared for the second coming of the Christ? He promised he would return. He promised that the injustice of the world would end. He promised that vengeance would be exacted. He promised that we would see him coming on a cloud. He promised that he would gather all his children into his fold and the rest would be cast outside. Do you believe in his promises? Do you believe period?
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage nd then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ. The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
