“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Luke 19:38 (NIV)
Today is a special day for us who know Jesus Christ as our Savior. It is the day when we remember how the people outside of Jerusalem sang praises to the Lord as he approached the city. We call it Passion Sunday or Palm Sunday because as the people welcomed Jesus they laid down their robes and palm branches in the road in front of Jesus. The verse we have for today is the message that God wanted people to proclaim that day. When the Pharisees suggested that Jesus rebuke those who were singing, he replied that if the people would not tell the message the stones would cry out. So what the people sang was the truth which needed to be said and heard. It's is a message which we all need to tell forth. This Jesus who was to die on the cross that very week is our King. We need to recognize Him as the King of our lives and we need to honor Him every day.
