04/09 Luke 19:38-40
“Bless the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in highest heaven!” 39 But some of the Pharisees among the crowd said, “Teacher, rebuke your followers for saying things like that!” 40 He replied, “If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”
STONES
I’ve stood at the place on the Mt of Olives where tradition says this happened. Everywhere you look there are rocks, thousands, and hundreds of thousands of rocks. If they had cried out all of Israel would have heard: Bless the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in highest heaven. Lord of Lords and king of kings for Jesus is the Lord.
