“When Jesus Weeps!”

 

“A very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” ~ Matt. 21:8-11

  

With Gethsemane ahead – Jesus heads for Jerusalem to fulfill His Father’s will. As Jesus moves toward Gethsemane, I wonder what His thoughts were, not knowing, yet all knowing ... As news begins to be spread aboard that Jesus is coming, many gather to welcome Him to Jerusalem. Perhaps it is like that today, many welcome Him, but they do not discern The Father’s plan of Salvation. In this hour, the Hosts of heaven look on and desire to know this Salvation, 1 Pet. 1:12. We are privileged to have the Road Map for our Journey of Salvation, it is contained in God’s Holy Word. God reveals Jesus’ Journey to us that we might sense and feel the “Power of Trust” that Jesus had in His Father’s plan. Jesus would be mocked, spit upon, cruelly abused and finely hung in open shame, nailed to a Cross. The Account of Jesus’ Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem is known by multitudes even today, yet the Father’s plan is not discerned! Trust was in the heart of Jesus as He moved among the worshipers, He heard their Praises from the lips, but knew their heart was far from commitment. He weeps! ... Lk. Records Jesus Words ... “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings and ye would not!” Jesus moves onward to bring Salvation to all humanity, even those who would persecute Him. He could do this because He Trusted His Father. There is “Power in us when we Trust our God and His Son, Our Saviour!”  Victory is Coming!    Loving You, Pastor
