Matthew21: 9 "Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting, "Praise God for the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD! Praise God in highest heaven!"
Jesus was making his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Palm branches and coats were being laid down for him to ride over on the colt. He is being exalted by the people ,"It's Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee." But he would not always be hailed so highly as time will tell. Jesus knew what his father would have him to do for the people. But the people wanted a ruler and king right then but Jesus knew the time was not yet.
I had a time in my life when I was riding high. I was popular, positive, persuasive, and had a small amount of prestige. Unlike Jesus, I let it all go to my head and one day I came tumbling off the donkey. OUCH! I did learn a big lesson through that. It was, I am not the center of the universe. Christ is. Everything starts with him, flows out from him and returns to him again. It was a lesson learned the hard way but one I will never forget.
