When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” – Luke 19:37-40
The Pharisees were so terrified of what Jesus stood for, they couldn't stand the thought of him usurping them from their seat of power. When he came to Jerusalem, and was met with such praise, such as they had never seen before, they tell him: "Jesus, tell them to stop!" but he knew better. He is the King, sent fourth to bring them peace everlasting. They knew it in their hearts, and if they were to keep quiet their praises, the stones would not. Don't let your praises go unheard, this is Holy Week, my friends, let the whole world know how proud you are to be Christian, let the whole world know that Jesus, the king who comes in the name of the Lord is blessed, and in turn, you will be blessed!
I hope you all have an amazing Holy Week, if at all possible, make it to Church for Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil, if you can find time in your schedule, I promise you won't regret it :)
and I'm feeling good
Welcome, folks, to Light of a New Day. This blog project was started back in 2010 by Jake and Sydnee. Over the years, several others have left their mark, by contributing articles, their time, and love for Christ. The blog has went through some dry spells, because - let's face it - we all have moments where posting happy thoughts isn't quite possible. For Jake and Syd both, someone shot the bird dead out of the sky. Unfortunately for them, that bird was a phoenix - and baby, it's back. What you can expect are posts. Maybe not regular, and maybe not all of them will be happy. This phoenix is an honest phoenix, life isn't perfect - and people need to stop acting and teaching like it is. This is Light of a New Day. a REAL day. If you have any thoughts or comments, would like to drop us a contribution, or would like to join our team - drop me a line at trun4rth@yahoo.com
God Bless,
Attractive Narrator Voice
