On The Road With Jesus

PALM SUNDAY ~ This most significant day marked the beginning of the last week that Jesus would spend as “God-man”. His journey along the road to Jerusalem that day also marked the 'beginning of the end' of his earthly ministry. On that road to Jerusalem, every step Jesus traveled was one closer to His own death, burial and glorious Resurrection.

Reflecting on Matthew 21:1-11, the Road to Jerusalem that Jesus travelled was clearly also:

• A Road of Humility (verses 1-3)
• A Road of Fulfilment (verses 4-5)
• A Road of Submission (verses 6-8)
• A Road of Destiny (verses 9-11)

Likewise, as followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to respond to God's love, through the power of His Spirit at work within us. We do this by seeking to live our lives with humility, fulfilled within the will of God, submitted to the Lordship of Christ - for we are destined to eternal life.

As you ponder on the events of Holy Week over the next few days, I pray that you might recommit to walking the road of humility, obedience and submission to the Lord Jesus in all you do. May the assurance of your faith be deepened into God's love more and more.

Matthew 21:4-5 (NJKV) ~ “All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: ...'Behold, your King is coming to you, lowly, and sitting on a donkey - a colt, the foal of a donkey.'”
