“Praise and Overturning”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

Matthew 21:10-17
Mark 11:11-17
Luke 19:45-46



pastedGraphic
Jesus came to Jerusalem
He examined the town.
Then He went to Bethany due to the lateness of the day.

The next day He returns.

The city is stirred.
Some people wanted to know who Jesus was.
Others stated He was the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.

Jesus entered the temple.
Angry with what He saw as to the buying and selling, He drove out those doing such.

Jesus declared “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you are making it a robbers den’ “.

The blind and lame came to Him.
He healed them.

But…

• what a sad word
• what a powerful word.
• what meaning

Even though they saw…
Even though they knew it to be real..
The chief priests and scribes became indignant.

They could not stand the praise of the children proclaiming the Truth of Jesus.

They sought to silence the praise.
They sought to condemn the Lord.

Quench not the praise of little ones.
Be not indignant with the move of God.

Rejoice and give Him praise.
