Today’s Thought “Blue Lights In the Basement” G. Ward

Zechariah 9:9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

Our society awaits the next party because we’ve been taught more about a pursuit in happiness over contentment (and yes there is a difference). The most thrilling time in the world (deemed Passion Week), the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, preparing for a tumultuous death to pardon you and me (particularly a willing Vessel without sin), including shouts of acclamation from what was over 100,000 presumed followers, anticipating Who for them was undeniably the Savior of the world, but looking to HIM for political freedom along with immediate social reform HE could offer yet denying their soul’s rescue from sin, perpetuating self aggrandizement.

At the ascension of Jesus unto heaven 120 disciples are said to have existed, enclosed in a small room, with the music off, disquieted with uncertainty that would soon afford their awareness of all HE promised that became their reality and is now our own (Acts 1). Will you proclaim HIM as Lord or continue looking for the party purporting principles of pleasure?
