The conclusion of our Lord’s earthly ministry is drawing near, and the darkness of the cross looms before Him as He prepares to enter into Jerusalem. He will reveal himself as King, and suffer rejection from those that He came to save. Let us now see Jesus with the eyes of our heart.

Although people were not ready to accepted Jesus as King, they cast their garments, and branches from the trees into His path, and shouted; " Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the Highest."

All the city was moved as Jesus came into Jerusalem. He has been here before, but never attracting so much attention. The people wanted Jesus to identify Himself, not as the Son of God, but as a prophet; "this is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee!"

The first place Jesus went to visit in Jerusalem was the temple, and his first order of business, was to clean up God’s house, and restore it to a House of Prayer. The same holds true today, God’s order, must first, remember, judgment begins at the House of God.

Jesus preformed a great healing service there in the temple to all that came, the lame, the blind, etc. The crowds continued to cry, "Hosanna to the Son of David." You see, things were going their way, so they were not going to rock the boat, by siding with the religious leaders.

The chief priest and scribes were outraged because of the praise being given to Jesus, [He was invading their space] so they came up with a plot to kill him

Later in the week this same crowd that cried Hosanna, were found crying, "Crucify Him." as the smell of death fill the air.

Over two thousand years has past without much change in men’s heart. will you receive him as King today, and become part of His royal circle, or will you go with the crowd that cried: Crucify Him?
