The amazing account of Jesus' life and ultimate goal takes a big turn this week as He enters Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey. In great humility, the King of Kings comes to Jerusalem to triumph over the powers of darkness by taking away the means that Satan has to condemn us - the debt we I owe for our sins. In Colossians 2 the Bible says that our "record of debt" was nailed to the Lord's cross. It then says that this was how Jesus triumphed over the forces of darkness. The Lord Jesus disarmed the devil by taking our place and paying off the debt we owe.
This is the reason we praise Him - this is the reason we love Him - this is the reason we live for Him!
So do all of that and you too will be a part of the true parade of praise that many throughout history have joined in with. The amazing power of God shown in the most amazingly humble means of our precious Savior coming on a lowly donkey...coming to give His life as a ransom for me and for you....praise Him....He deserves it!
The world usually sees humility as a weakness - however a humble slave of Christ can be used in mighty powerful way by our God. We are to live our lives humbly serving Christ and leaving the results to Him- He will do mighty things with someone totally in submission to Him!
Have a great week!
