Matthew 21:12-17 ~ Prepared

 






Why a donkey and a colt?

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and The Life.
The Holy Spirit is Comfort.



Matthew 21:12-17



12 And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 
13 He said to them,
 “It is written, 
‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.”

14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. 

15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant, 16 and they said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” 

And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read,
“‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies
    You have prepared praise’?”

17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.



 Christ Pantocrator, 6th century

The Greek word Pantocrator is “he who has authority over everything.” Two Hebrew expressions in the Old Testament describe God, the “God of Hosts” (Sabaot) and “Almighty” (El Shaddai).
Perhaps the different eyes of Jesus represent the Divine and Jesus the man.

God is God.  Our God, The Almighty, is fully the architect of His Living Word, and teaches us to know images of Jesus as a living man walking and healing us all, being Grace upon Grace.  David was ruddy. And handsome and very young. Solomon was clothed beautifully.  Saul was extremely tall. 



 A man of Sorrows, Isaiah 53:3 describing Jesus of Good Friday. Jesus describes Himself in John 14, 15, 16 and 17 as a man who has lived a Joyful Life. 

We do not know if Jesus was Ruddy, tall, short, blonde, light or dark eyes. 

God wants us to recognize: Our Heavenly Father, the Exact Nature of Jesus. 
Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done on earth as in Heaven. Give us this day. Our Daily Bread. Forgive us our Trespasses.  Lead us not into Temptation. Deliver us from evil. For His is The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory.

We recognize Father God in these Verses 
Being Glorified on earth, as people are not. Julius Caesar didn't have impromptu be our king parades. Complete with blankets and coats lost to the crowd for Jesus to walk upon. The fringe of the Robe of Jesus was known to heal. Acts 5 tells us the family and friends of the ill and dying were placed in the shadow of the Disciples of Jesus to heal.    

God addresses injustice forthrightly. Without fear of mankind. Jesus is in the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, so rarely opened.



Jesus Christ is the Light of the world
Jesus Christ is the Light of mankind


Light has no borders or boundaries. 
 One of the most important images Jesus  is giving us.  


Jesus wants us to see in His Message Eternally is His Nature.  Jesus doesn't just ride on a donkey like David did.  David explained himself by riding his donkey to his coronation, David knew he was a man of the people. David fully explains his roots.

Jesus is Teaching as He rides in on a Donkey and brings a colt. 

Horses sent a rare message. In the Roman Empire, few men can be Tribunes. Senatorial Rank in the equestrian portion of the army. Horses were very elite. To be equestrian rank, the man brings his own horse.

Jesus is Light of mankind. Jesus is not poverty creeping into a criminal death. Jesus is a Carpenter's Son. Jesus is the Son of the Most High God.  Jesus is the Messiah of God. Both God and man.


Jesus is Light of the world





Palm Sunday is Jesus enters through the Beautiful Gate



Amos 5: 14-24

Seek good, and not evil,
    that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
    as you have said.

15 Hate evil, and love good,
    and establish justice in the gate

It may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
    will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

16 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord:

“In all the squares there shall be wailing,
    and in all the streets they shall say, ‘Alas! Alas!’

They shall call the farmers to mourning
    and to wailing those who are skilled in lamentation,
17 and in all vineyards there shall be wailing,
    for I will pass through your midst,”
says the Lord.


18 Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
    Why would you have the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, and not light,
as if a man fled from a lion,
    and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,
    and a serpent bit him.
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light,
    and gloom with no brightness in it?

21 “I hate, I despise your feasts,
    and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
    I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
    I will not look upon them.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs;
    to the melody of your harps I will not listen.

24 But let justice roll down like waters,
    and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.






Holy Week and Easter 

Uniquely tell us of God's Plans
and 
The Joy of God is our Strength.

When we say
Jesus is the Way, Truth and Life
we recognize
The Holy Spirit is Comfort.




God intends us to Love Jesus and find Him our Comfort.

We sometimes wonder in the news and the daily disaster report, if Jesus has fallen asleep in the boat. Maybe, we should wake Him. 

The Way, The Truth, The Life. Jesus Christ.

When we see Jesus healed them 'all', we find some are indignant. 

The Sacrifice, then the Comfortless. Jesus discourages the Money Machine. Jesus isn't about the bank Herod adored for Rome, Jesus is for the joy of His Righteousness and His Boldness in His Righteousness.

Today's Verse says: Even God's Praises were being discouraged.

When Jesus heals the deaf man so beautifully and carefully, Jesus is with a deaf man.

When Jesus heals the ten lepers, Jesus acknowledges life has lepers. 

Verse 17, Jesus takes refuge in Bethany. Zechariah said around its northern side,  would be the road to Bethany and the Jordan

Zechariah 14:4
On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward.

Jesus Christ.
The Time of His Sacrifice He is not discussing the end of the world. Not talking about the unrepentant cities. Jesus acknowledges in all His Way, His Truth and His Life, life is not Heaven. Jesus is taking refuge in the city He calls unrepentant.

Jesus knew the hassles and frustrations of Life. He found Joy because of His Faith in God's Plan. His Joy in seeing the Centurion's Faith in the Word Spoken by God's Son. 

Jesus the clear vision of God's Plan sees The Way of Life, The Truth of Life, and finds Life Joy. Finding the Holy Spirit is Comfort.






It's so difficult to see Jesus
killed, when He Healed them ALL.
So very difficult.

God's Mercies Renew.
As Holy Week, Good Friday and Easter Sunday are here,
we realize we are not dust in Jesus Christ.
We Begin Again as His Mercies Renew.


Psalm 24


A Psalm of David

The earth is the Lord's 
and 
the fullness thereof
the world 
and those
 who dwell therein

He has founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.

5 He will receive blessing from the Lord
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob. 
Selah!

 Lift up your heads, O gates!

And be lifted up, O ancient doors!

The King of glory may come in.

8 Who is this King of glory?

The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle!

9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.

10 Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory! 
Selah!



Abba, Father,

Help us to go before the Lord to prepare His ways
To give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins

Because of the tender mercy of our God

 His sunrise shall visit us from on high 
Giving light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death
Guiding our feet into the way of peace.


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms

By grace you have been saved through faith
 and that not of yourselves
 The gift of God
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast

Faith is a gift of God
by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ

May grace and peace be multiplied to you
 in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord

We pray for all facing injustice
and those who face the injustice
in a system called Justice.
We pray this Land
is Home of the Free
the Brave
and 
the Honest.
FREEDOM!

1 John 3:1
See what kind of love the Father has given to us,
 that we should be called children of God

Dwell in us, Father
Dwell in those we Love
Help us to seek You first
and in Jesus Christ,
we will finish well.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, Savior of God.

Blessed are the Churches with 
Shepherds
FEEDING

All the Generations of Heaven.

Luke 11 ~ The Lord's Prayer

 

The Post disappeared for Saturday after an hour and a half. It was about Jesus and His Great Love
for us.

And we know His Great Love.



Abba, Father

May the work of our hands
be prospered by You.

May the words of our mouth,
and the thoughts of our heart,
be pleasing to You,
Our Rock and Redeemer.

Edward and I have had gastric upset,
we've heard is in the area,
for a couple of days we've been so tired.
We ask for Your Blessing of health, Father.

Thank You for Jesus.
His Love, Mercy, Sacrifice and Care.

Amen in Jesus.

John 14:21,22 ~ He remained there with them and was baptizing. Yesterday, today and tomorrow!








John 14:21,22



Whoever does what is true comes to the light, 
so that it may be clearly seen that 
his works 
have been carried out in God. 

 After this 
Jesus and His disciples 
went into the Judean countryside, 
and He remained there with them 
and was baptizing

When I think of Jesus' ministry on earth, grace upon grace, I recall the blind seeing, the deaf hear, the lame walk and the poor have good news preached to them. I once lost a verbal bet Jesus had baptized.  I'm always surprised Jesus baptized. He had others to Baptize for Him.

I'd bet Jesus smiled and was pleased and proud of each of His Children.






Imagine the decades and generations of those who had been Baptized by Jesus. Telling their children, grandchildren and perhaps great-grandchildren. Telling friends, being asked to tell those traveling by.

The days and years, becoming decades of days. Days illuminated with the memory of looking into Jesus' eyes, as they rose out of the water during the Baptism.


Anointed by Sacrament. Anointed by the event. Anointed by God.


Jesus says every Word of His is for yesterday, today and tomorrow. And Jesus said:


John 20:29 

 Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed


Anointed by belief. A Promise of God the Almighty.


Matthew 25:34
 
Then the King will say to those on His right,
 "Come, you who are blessed by My Father,
 inherit the kingdom prepared for you 
from the foundation of the world."





Abba, Father,

Help us to go before the Lord to prepare His ways
To give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins

Because of the tender mercy of our God

 His sunrise shall visit us from on high 
Giving light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death
Guiding our feet into the way of peace.


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms

By grace you have been saved through faith
 and that not of yourselves
 The gift of God
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast

Faith is a gift of God
by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ

May grace and peace be multiplied to you
 in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord

We pray for all facing injustice
and those who face the injustice
in a system called Justice.
We pray this Land
is Home of the Free
the Brave
and 
the Honest.
FREEDOM!

1 John 3:1
See what kind of love the Father has given to us,
 that we should be called children of God

Dwell in us, Father
Dwell in those we Love
Help us to seek You first
and in Jesus Christ,
we will finish well.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, Savior of God.
Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
