The Last Week: Ain't No Rock

If you squeeze a lemon, you get lemonade. What about you? What does pressure reveal about your soul? When Jesus entered Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday, his followers couldn’t help themselves: they had to shout and praise. What about you? What does your ability (or inability) to praise God say about the state of your soul? Scripture: Luke 19:29-40 Zechariah 9:9-10 Psalm 118:26 Psalm 96:12-13 Isaiah 44:23 Isaiah 55:12 Quotations: “Then all the Jews together greeted [him] with one voice and surrounded him… [then] he gave his hand to the high priest and, with the Jews running beside him, entered the city. Then he went up to the temple where he sacrificed to God under the direction of the high priest.” -Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews “Praise is inner health made audible.” -C.S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms
