HE cares for us, that all might humble themselves, and turn to Jesus, who was the ultimate example, of humility. The son of God, fully human, fully God, perfect in every way. He was only one who could save us from our wayward selves. Thank You, Jesus.
How soon, the crows would turn against him, as he headed for his death.

Triumphal entry
“When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold your King is coming to you, Gentle, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’ ” The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats. Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road. The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!” When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.””
Matthew 21:1-11 NASB1995
It is the gift of life for those who believe, but for those who don’t, it is foolishness, but also carry’s the weight of eternal judgement. God does not any to perish, but to receive the free gift of life. This does not mean, that there was not a tremendous price to pay, for our wayward hearts!
“But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 May we not lose sight of the tremendous sacrifice, that was made on our behalf, to those who believe. We can celebrate on Easter, but as we remember what Jesus went through, May we few our devotion to him, for much was sacrificed by both the Father & the Son.
Our Hope is in you Lord, for the security in knowing, that even though we live in a world that is passing away, you have a place ready for us that will NEVER fade away.
Lisa Chan sang on one of her albums, “How deep the Fathers Love for us”. The verse below says it all. May your Easter be filled with amazement at what Jesus and the Father had sacrificed that we might Live!
He would suffer many things for our sake. He did for us, what we could never do for our selves.
Our Hope is both in this present age, in an imperfect world, but one day, for all of eternity, spending with Jesus in our perfect world, for all of eternity.
“Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11

It is not in our own strength that we fight the battle, but in Gods Holy Armor, which he gives freely, to all believers. If we try and fight in our own strength and might, we lose. I pray that we are reminded daily, that there is a spiritual battle raging, and we remember to fight filled with his spirit and his might
