How Would Jesus be Received Today?
As I have mentioned last week, Palm Sunday is the day that Christians
around the world observe the Triumphal Entry of the Lord Jesus Christ
into the city of Jerusalem for the last time before His crucifixion. The exuberant crowds welcomed Him into the city as their Messiah with palm
branches in their hands and shouts of praise, “Hosanna,” in their lips.
However, the palm branches that held in their hands would become
torches, signifying the hatred that began to burn within them because
they felt betrayed and misled. Their shouts of praise soon turned into
shouts of anger and frustration. All because this man, Jesus, who
claimed to be their Messiah did not deliver what they had expected and
failed to bring improvement in their lives on political, socio-economical
level.
Many people today come to Christ or church with the similar attitude that
this Jewish crowd had. They want a puppet King who will give them what
they expect—a life of peace, safety, health, prosperity and happiness.
While Jesus can and does give us many blessings in this life, but he did
not die for us just to give us a better life here on earth as many TV evangelists would want us to believe—He died for us to have our sins forgiven by His blood and to give us eternal life beyond this world.
On that eventful day, there are generally two types of people who were
present at the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ: those who received him
with joy and those who rejected him with hatred. My friend, the question
I want to ask you today is: “How would you receive Jesus Christ if you
were with the crowd?”
Matthew describes in his gospel in verse 8 of chapter 21, “…a very great
multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches
from the trees, and strawed them in the way.” The people who received
Him with joy are those who were excited to have seen prophet Zechariah’s prophecy came into fruition before their very eyes when Jesus rode
into the city with a donkey, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout,
O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just,
and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the
foal of an ass.” (Zechariah 9:9)
By the way, Jesus had a purpose for riding a donkey into the city. He
chose to ride a donkey because that is how kings travelled in times of
peace in contrast to riding a horse which symbolises times of war. By doing so, Christ was declaring Himself to be a King, thus, fulfilled the saying of the prophet Zechariah. And the joyfully expectant recognized that.
They truly loved Jesus and expected Him to rule over them as their King,
but they were outnumbered by those who hated him and wanted to get rid
of Him because He preached the Truth and denounced religious hypocrisies of His day.
Today the joyfully expectants would be those who are truly born again and
willing to submit to Him not only as their Saviour, but also as their Lord of
life. These are the children of God who expect Christ to rule over them in
their hearts which governs their family life and public life.
These people would seek to obey His commandments and strive to glorify
God and live a holy life because they love the Saviour who has died for
them and recognised that as their divine calling (1 Corinthians 10:31; Romans 8:29). And because they love Him, they are not afraid of His coming, as Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 4:8, “Henceforth there is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me
at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
Those who love Jesus as their King welcome the idea of Jesus returning
because Christ already reigns in their hearts!
My friend, I pray that you will receive Christ joyfully today as your Lord
and Saviour and King over your life! If you have already received him, you
will look forward to His Second coming with the same joy! I pray that you
can say with the millions around the world who have already believed,
“Maranatha” or “Come, Lord Jesus” anticipating for His Second coming as
He will rule the earth with the rod of iron!
Yours humbly in Christ,
David Weng
