Treasures Reading of Celebration

[Leonard Match Valid]

9 nisan   - John 12:12-19 and Mark 11:1-11

Jesus arrived riding on a colt in Jerusalem.

A bittersweet mix of feelings came over Jesus: - joy but also sadness.

That's because, I don't know if you noticed, but before entering Jerusalem, Jesus accompanied by his disciples, followers and a crowd that acclaims him, he looks at Jerusalem and starts to cry.

It is evident that it does not refer only to the city because it is the people who live in Jerusalem who are the point of their weeping because they are not repenting of their sins and accepting the Messiah.

Interestingly, after entering the city, Jesus heals many people inside (John 12:18).

This shows that Jesus may have seen some who are undeserving but still healed many.

How much love!

At the Celebration, we will have people and ourselves who do not deserve God's blessings, but Jehovah and Jesus for the great love, welcomes us and "heals" us spiritually.

And what did you think of the reading of Christ during the last days of Christ?

I personally liked this image from our Bible's Appendix helping me understand the distance and the road Jesus traveled the day before.

 

And some comments on today's reading:

It helped me see how sometimes worldly people may treat us 'nicely' and even show 'appreciation' for us, and that's okay. But we should remember that in the end most are the ones that will turn against Jehovah and eventually against us, just like they did on Jesus. Although he was welcomed with branches of palm trees and praising him; these are the same people that later on hanged him on the stake. It's good when people 'honor' us; but it's not something we should pursue!
