On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem on the back of a donkey's colt to shouts of "Hosanna" and "Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven and glory in the highest." Dismayed by their public praise "some of the Pharisees among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples."
His answer: "I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." Whether by the voices of believers or by the cry of the stones - His praises would be heard that day in the public square.
In a world seeking to become more and more tolerant of and welcoming to a great diversity of viewpoints, let this one never be silenced: God loved the world so much that He sent His only Begotten Son to the earth to save all mankind from sin and death if we will follow Him. And let me be at least as willing and excited as the stones on that day years ago to proclaim His incredible goodness.
Now squint your eyes almost closed and look at the picture -- you'll see it. Others should too :) Happy Palm Sunday!
