I smile. I feel the love of Christ, I bask in God, Our Creator, the Most High! And I hope to depart one inkling of how much this man-God and God-man did for us.
Jesus Christ satisfied God's authority and ways, shedding His blood for the forgiveness of our sins. That’s why we don’t offer animal sacrifices like other peoples, and as was performed in the Old Testament.
Here, on Palm Sunday, Christ enters the crowd, who rushed to see Him and waved palm leaves (and they would be taking “selfies” if it was today), talking amongst themselves of this man who raised Lazarus from the dead.
They shouted,
“Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest!”
Yet Christ did not ride in on a huge horse with an army, like the normal perception of a “King”. Instead, He rode in on a lowly donkey, in all humility.
Christ knew he would be sacrificed. But He did it anyway, for you and me, because He also knew He would rise again in a grand and miraculous Resurrection, which we celebrate on Sunday, March 31st. All we have to do to be in God’s presence for all eternity - not just when we die, but now and forever - is to accept His Son Jesus Christ into our hearts.
Say,
“God, I’m not sure how this works, but I want to be with You for all eternity. Bring my kids after me, and let me greet my parents. Then let me bask in Your light and love, Your favor of me as your favorite child, and be my parent, my All-Powerful Father. Bring me close to You as I accept everything Your Son Jesus did for me on that cross. Forgive me of all my sins. Come into my heart, Dear Jesus, and live in me.
Let me die to myself every moment of every day, and live for You.
Thank you for saving me. Give me Your Holy Spirit, to lead and guide me. Let me listen to that still, small voice and follow it. I ask all this in the Name Above All Names, one that even the demons know, and for whom all the rocks will cry out! Amen.
Now go get baptized in the Name of the Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit! Amen.
And Tell Somebody! Proclaim it to The World So That God Can Put You in the Book of Life!
Hallelujah!! PRAISE FATHER IN HEAVEN!!
It has nothing to do with Religion but 100% to do with FAITH. IT IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, JESUS CHRIST THE WORD OF GOD.
In the begining, God spoke and The Word was with Him....Jesus Christ is The Word and created everything. The Holy Spirit is our BFF in this world. 🙌❤️
Amen! Praise God the Almighty Father, Jesus the Savior and the Holy Spirit, who lives in us! Thank you, Dr. Rev. Margaret, for these beautiful prayers! Love you, my friend.
