JOHN
12:19
The next day the large crowd that has come to
the Passover Festival heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took
branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, shouting “Praise God! God
bless him who comes in the name of the Lord! God bless the King of Israel!”
Jesus found a donkey and rode on it just the
scripture says, “Do not be afraid, city of Zion! Here comes your King, riding
on a young donkey.”
His disciples did not understand this at the
time; but when Jesus had been raised to glory, they remembered that the
scripture said this about him and that they had done this for him.
The people who had been with Jesus when he
called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from death had reported what had
happened. That was why the crowd met him
– because they heard that he had performed this miracle.
The Pharisees then said to one another, “You
see, we are not succeeding at all! Look, the whole world is following him.”
How
often have your enemies plotted evil against you? Are you aware? Psalm 91 is
our prayer, for if we dwell in the secret place of the Most High and Abide
under the shadow of the Almighty, no evil will surely befall us. Psalm 5:4-5, Ps 6:10, Ps 7:14-16,
Ps 9:9-10, Ps 11:1-2, Ps 12:7-8, Ps 13, Ps 14:1, 18:4-6, Ps 22, Ps 25:1-3, 27
etc. God Most
High is our Shield and our Protector.
