Our Humble King, 6x6 Acrylic on Canvas John 12:12-19 NIV

The next day the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, as it is written: “Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see, your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him. Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. Many people, because they had heard that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him. So the Pharisees said to one another, “See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!”

The heart of Jesus is to win you over and reconcile you back to your Heavenly Father, it is the reason for His sacrifice, the reason for His life, for us to know His heart and what He truly desires for God’s precious children. Jesus our humble king became nothing so that we can inherit the Kingdom alongside Him. This Palm Sunday, it is important to remember Jesus and His desire and will for His people, that we can walk beside Him with humility and surrender knowing that He is the only one that can truly set us free from all bondage if we put Him first, and keep Him in the center of our hearts. #palmsunday #jesus #easter #goodfriday
