The time of celebration

 Luke 19:28-40

As I observe Jesus' life I note that life is full of it's ups and downs and this happens to be an up.  Everyone is rejoicing.  Jesus is entering Jerusalem...not on a horse but on a donkey (a true show of His humility...it also demonstrates He shouldn't be a threat!)  The people are cheering Him on and life looks good; even if some of the Pharisees want Him to shut the crowd up.  What I don't think they've realized is Jesus is coming in as the Passover lamb.  It reminds me of the times when life isn't as we expect.  We get really excited and then everything changes because it doesn't work out the way we expect.  Can we hold on to our faith and trust God with the future, which only He knows?  Lord Jesus, please help us trust You with our futures.  Amen

Our neighbour

  Luke 10:29-37 During this year of covid we've been forced to slow down.  I'm wondering if it's helping us to see our neighbours in need.  Lord Jesus, please help us not to be so busy going about Your work we miss seeing our neighbours in need.

Herod

  Luke 23:8-12 This passage says a lot about Herod.  First of all he wanted to see Jesus because he had heard about Him.  Herod was hoping Jesus would perform a miracle for him but Jesus wasn't going to be played.  Jesus didn't answer Herod's questions and His accusers seemed to be heard by Herod so Herod started to mock Jesus but Herod didn't find anything wrong with him.  Herod sent Him back to Pilate,,,and what is interesting is Herod and Pilate became friends that day. Lord Jesus, when satan sends the mockers help us to be wise and know when to speak and when not to speak.  Give us the courage to stand for what is right, in Your time and way. Amen.

Fringe folk

  Luke 9:49-50 Have you ever noticed some non-church goers are amazing people, doing amazing things?  Jesus says, if they're not against us they're for us.  Lord Jesus, help us not to discourage people who are on the fringes of the church.  Help us see how they are helping in Your Kingdom and celebrate their goodness.
