On what we call Palm Sunday, the crowds of old came out into the streets joyfully and loudly praising Jesus. They said, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord." (Luke 19:38) Later Jesus said, "---if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." (verse 40) In fact, our church choir is going to sing a wonderful song based on that awesome verse in our Palm Sunday service. I enclosed a link to this song which our choir loves, It is not, however, our choir singing. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4HNb1Hm8-U
In these unusual times Jesus is still King over all life's trials including the war in Ukraine and the lingering coronavirus, family care-giving challenges, our own illnesses or bodily pains, wayward children, job issues, and whatever other trials we may be facing.A couple years ago I posted on Facebook a video clip of people from a nursing home in Sioux Center, IA sharing their favorite Bible verses which encourage them in difficult times. I thought it was worth repeating here today. These elderly people have come to recognize Jesus as their King and as their source of comfort in life' s struggles. Click on the link below and be blessed, as they share. (As a footnote I was born in IA not too far from Sioux Center.)
