Baruch haba b'shem Adonai!

Baruch haba b'shem Adonai! 
Blessed & Happy Palm Sunday!

Today is the start of the most Holy week in all of Christianity, and I feel I like to give a little sermon.

First, Blessed is He, Jesus, who comes in the Name of the Lord!

I love the name "Adonai" most of all, of all of God's personals names.  It means "My Lord". It's beautiful. I love how it sounds. 

That's the thing about our Adonai, He is beautiful,  and all His works are to be admired and He should be admired. He is a King after all. 

Some 2000 years ago, today, a beautiful spring day on a very crowed street in Jerusalem the people gathered, laying palm leaves on the ground, chanting "Baruch haba b'shem Adonai!" Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord! 

The people watch as Jesus fulfilled yet another prophecy in their view, yet they didn't understand what they were seeing. 

They were hoping against hope that Jesus would crush the Romans right then and there but it wasn't time. No,  not yet.  But soon. 

While we wait,  we are to wait expectantly. We are to wait with anticipation of His return. Not be caught unaware. In my mind I picture it that we are to be party planning. We need to be inviting (witnesses) as many people to the party as we can.  Because when the time comes,  you don't want to be left out! 

You know,  I actually just read something on idiotbook I want to share...

Folks, don't let this be you're Christian walk! 

Don't give your friends or family the opportunity to stand before God and point their fingers at you as they are turned away from the party because you FAILED TO INVITE THEM!!!!

No way! I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ! I will share it so I am not the reason!

Live intentionally, Live purposely for the Cross of Christ, it was intentional and purposed for us!
