Praising God in Daily Life: Name the Reasons You Have to Praise
from Grace Church NOLA · host Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church of New Orleans
A message based on Luke 19:14-40: After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of the disciples, saying, "Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' just say this, 'The Lord needs it.'" So those who were sent departed and found it as Jesus had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?" The disciples said, "The Lord needs it." Then they brought the colt to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As Jesus rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As Jesus was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying, "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!" Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, order your disciples to stop." Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out."Reflection Questions - What are the things that you have witnessed God doing in our world? What are the things that you love best about the Creator, about Jesus, about the Holy Spirit? What are the reasons why you praise God? What does that praise look like in your life? How do you praise God?
