Today is Palm Sunday, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem and cleansed His temple of moneychangers and robbers. According to Exodus 12:3, it is also likely the day – this day or the next one – when each Jew was to choose a Lamb for Passover. Four days before the Passover. And so Jesus rides into the city, clears a path in the temple to choose the proper sacrifice and not get fleeced, and He offers Himself as the Lamb of God who makes possible the redemption and Exodus of God’s people from the house of bondage.
Choose your lamb today. Choose your table and your temple. Where will you look for resolution to your problems? Where do you look to solve political issues? To whom do you look to protect you from God’s wrath against your sins? Choose your lamb today. Identify with Jesus, God’s Messiah. Leave behind false pretenders, who claim to have the answers you want. Jesus is what you need.
Take Him with you for the next 4 days, until His Last Supper, when He offers Himself for us. Come sit with Him again Thursday night, and worship your suffering Savior. Remain with Him. Abide in Him, and you will bear fruit and hold fast to the last day, when He will save you.
You are invited now to come up to the heavenlies for a glimpse into that last day, when the wedding feast is given, when we sit down with our Savior, Redeemer, Lord, groom and friend.
