MOST

Today's reading: Matthew 20-22

"Most of the crowd spread their coats on the road ahead of Jesus, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road." Matthew 21:8 NLT

Most of the crowd, it says--not all.

What about the ones who did not celebrate Jesus coming into Jerusalem?

They were not the majority.

They were not acknowledged.

They were not blessed by His appearance.

They were not seeing what the others saw.

They did not know what to do with Jesus, what to think about Jesus, how to respond to Jesus.

Maybe they were not as impressed by the Messiah as the majority of the onlookers.

I'm asking myself this question--which part of the crowd am I?

Do I celebrate every time I see Him do a work?

Do I praise Him each time I notice Him stepping into my situation?

Will I celebrate Him--no matter how He appears?

I have Jesus in my midst every moment of every day, as surely as those on the streets of Jerusalem had--how am I responding to His presence?
