Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” Mark 11:9
Love is a word that is used in our homes, workplace, and with our friends. And yet love is the one thing that we long to have in our lives. Most of the time it is utilized to identify with someone how we feel concerning them. However, love should be used by showing action of how one feels and not merely the talk of it. God exhibits this type of love toward us all. You do not have to be in a certain social or economic class for God to love you. God gives an Agape love to everyone. It is unconditional no matter your thoughts, deeds, or actions. God sent Jesus in this world because God loves us and to redeem our souls.
Jesus made a triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. Jesus was not a part of the elite or wealthy but was walking and talking as if he had authority. The actions of Jesus caused the leaders at that time to make plans to punish him. One example of this is when Jesus sent his disciples out to retrieve the donkey. Not just any donkey but a specific one and to tell anyone who asked that the Lord needed it. It was God’s infinite love for people that Jesus was granted such power and authority to give hope. As Jesus entered Jerusalem the people were crying out to God to be saved through praises.
It was God’s victorious demonstration of love that gave Jesus the mandate to be a sacrifice for you and me. As we continue during this Advent, let us remember God is love and gives love to all. Let us continue to live obediently and know that it will lead us to victory every time.
