LOOK THE WHOLE WORLD IS FOLLOWING HIM

 JOHN 12:19

 ANOTHER FULFILLED PREDICTION- CHRIST OUR REDEEMER

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.

THE PLOT AGAINST LAZARUS

 JOHN 12:9-11

A large number of people heard that Jesus was in Bethany, so they went there, not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from death.

So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus too, because on his account many Jews were rejecting them and believing Jesus.

 

Why do the nations plan rebellion? Why do people make their useless plot?

Their kings revolt, their rulers plot together against the LORD and against the king he chose.

“Let us free ourselves from their rule” they say: “Let us throw off their control……” Psalm 2:1-11

How evil can the heart of man be? The man raised to life was in danger of being eliminated by fellow creatures having been raised from death by Christ. Not only plotting to kill Jesus’ but to put Lazarus to death. In the midst of our joy and breakthroughs not everyone will definitely be happy with us. Deliver us Lord from our enemies. God’s plan in our lives will be fulfilled. Do not be afraid said our Master Jesus Christ Son of God Most High. H.E.
