Palm Sunday: Luke 19:11ff

Jesus tells us how to interpret the Holy Week events with a parable. That parable and Habakkuk 2 tell us that the Pharisees' response to the crowd was treasonous--the rocks cry out in judgement against them. Will we recognize the time of our visitation? They did not, even with the wealth of revelation they had received.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
