Today we will learn the meaning in our life to glorify Who is worthy of glory, honor to whom honor is worth, and you will see it is not as simple and easy as it sounds. This text spoke to me a lot and taught me greatly, I hope to talk to you too much and bring edification in your life.
LC 19:29-40
29) And it happened that he got close to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30) Saying, Go into the village over against you, and then, upon entering ye shall find a colt tied on which no man yet sat; Loose him and bring him.
31) And if any man ask you, Why are you untying it? thus shall ye say, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32) And going to those who had been sent, and found as he had told them.
33) And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them: Why are you untying the colt?
34) And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35) And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36) And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
37) And when he came near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God in loud voices for all the wonders they had seen,
38) Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39) And they said to the crowd some of the Pharisees, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40E, he answering said unto them, I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.
Jesus! He always, ever us surprising more and more; See, in this passage (The triumphal entry of Jesus), He begins speaking to his disciples to bring a colt that would be in a certain place and there was no man mounted (LC19: 30) and like good disciples as they heard the voice of the master, went to the place where Jesus had appointed them. What strikes me here is that when we live with Jesus we learn to trust in him in all He asks of us and speaks. Look at the disciples, they were all the time with Jesus and when Jesus spoke to bring the colt, they promptly did what Jesus had asked.
<LC19> 35) And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36) And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. When Jesus rode the donkey and went to city of Jerusalem, at the entrance of the city, the people already was to wait Jesus and some threw branches of trees and they spread their garments in the way making a rug for the King of kings Jesus to pass, and the people shouted with a loud voice <Mateus 21:9> ... "Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!" And people gave honor for him, and every time they cried more, and gave glory to the Lord of lords, acknowledging His sovereignty. My brothers even our GOD in His simplicity, riding on a donkey, having let down His glory in heaven, He came and lived among us sinners here on earth and yet he continue the same God, mighty and worthy of all Glory and honor, and we have to recognize this every day of our lives..
Beloved, today there are many people who indirectly seek glory for themselves, they seek recognition from others; Many are almost gods, find themselves owners of the truth, and they forget that Jesus is the truth and the life, they act like the Pharisees, as only they had the knowledge of everything, and they try to teach until Jesus how to proceed. <LC19:39> "And they said to the crowd some of the Pharisees, Master, rebuke thy disciples".
The Pharisees according to the Scriptures, knew the law, they knew where was until the commas in texts, and they always had problems with Jesus; Even though the fulfillment of many professias, they insisted on not believing that Jesus was the Messiah, the sent from GOD, and JESUS always rebuked they, because "it is not enough only knows the laws of God, you have to live His word," something that the Pharisees were not, then the answer of Jesus was at a high level <LC19:40> "And he answered and said unto them, I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out." Reply to Pharisee is that form: In other words it was as if He said: "Let my children serve me, they are understanding the purpose of the Father through my life, they know that I am the King and that there is no other equal me, they are giving me the glory that is due me and you are trying to disrupt the growth of my kingdom, and more, I can not do anything to stop them, because today is the day where I am worshiped and glorified, and if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out and will give glory to Me, But I do not want stones, I want them, I want you worship me and seek me; Pharisee You can understand that, you have a chance right now to change their attitudes in Actually you know so much of God law but you don't live this word, I want your heart completely, and now it's time for you to join them and worship me as King, and understand that I want you all for me, in my kingdom where the great day we supper together.
Beloved, never shut up; never be silent, I speak to you what is for me too <2TM 4:2> "Preach the word, in the time and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longanimity and doctrine. " My brethren, we can not ever shut up! If appear some Pharisees trying to silence his voice, do not fall for it, do not be silent; God want that we annouce his word and "If you keep quiet, the stones will cry out in its place." So do what the word tells:<Lucas 3:8> "Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you that out of these stones God can raise up children unto Abraham". So, Give glory to who is worthy of glory, give honor to whom it is worthy of honor, Give Praise to who is worthy of praise, and not let the stones take your place that is your right and inheritance; Cry Ever!
Amen!
