Scripture: The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Matthew 21:9 NIV But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. Matthew 27:20 NIV “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Matthew 16:15 NIV Application: We can't have a relationship with Jesus if we follow the crowd. Crowds shift. Based on nothing more than words from a self-interested charlatan, they may turn 180° toward a fatal position. Each of us must leave the crowd behind and examine ourselves. Do we believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior based on what the crowd says, or based on our own experience with Jesus? Prayer: Help me avoid following the crowd and follow only You as my personal Savior, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Comments are closed.
