Jesus is making his Triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As he enters the city, the people lay their cloaks and palm branches on the ground in an act of reverence. The people proclaim "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Lk 19:38) It is a public declaration that Jesus is the King— the Messiah. This of course upsets some of the observant Pharisees who were in the crowd. They attempt to rebuke Jesus by asking him to tell the crowds to stop their Kingly proclamations. Jesus’ answer is to say, ""I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”(Lk 19:40) This scene from Palm Sunday reminds us that reactions to Jesus were mixed from celebration to condemnation. As we look ahead to what Jesus has in store for the future of The Meeting Place—- what might be the posture of our hearts to Jesus? Are we joyfully welcoming his Kingdom into our lives? Or are we distantly observing?
