Sunday rest and reflection–praise!
Greetings on this day of rest and reflection! This happens to be Palm Sunday, a day to celebrate and praise the Lord for Jesus Christ, our King! On this day we celebrate his triumphant entry into Jerusalem and the temple. He came riding on a donkey colt surrounded by people waving palm branches and shouting “hosanna”! He came to the temple to be examined by the religious officials because He was the final “lamb” sacrifice for the sins of all people!
This is an interesting tie to Solomon, the great and wise King of Israel. Solomon was a King of peace! He was exceedingly wise! He ruled Israel, but made ties of peace with many other nations. He took wives and concubines, 1000 in all, from many lands! His splendor and wisdom were told of throughout the known world! The wealth of nations were brought to him. God’s favor rested on him to build a “house for God’s Name”.
Jesus Christ is Solomon’s greater son! He is wisdom to us! (1st Corinthians 1:30) He is the Prince of Peace! He will rule over the world from Jerusalem and the nations will serve and worship Him as King of Kings! To God be the Glory forever and ever! Amen! Have a great day of praise and worship to our great King! In Adorationof Him, Pastor John
