Spiritual Vitamin: "The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest!" When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, "Who is this?" The crowds answered, "this is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee." Matthew 21:9-11
Challenge: Read Matthew 21:1-11. Picture yourself there in Jerusalem. What do you hear? What do you see? How do you feel? How do you respond when the crowds answer "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee." Prayerfully consider what took place on Palm Sunday. How will you respond?
Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for this time to remember Jesus' passion and death. Turn our eyes now to the One who comes in your name. Open our eyes that we might feel what it must have been like to see Jesus coming. We praise You today for your most perfect plan. The sufferings of Jesus are petrifying and hard to read about, yet we're so grateful for his resurrection. Take us there, Lord. Amen.
