Will You Add Your Voice?

On the last week of Jesus' life, crowds gathered to watch Him as He came into Jerusalem. as The atmosphere was electric  and the people were excited.  As he road into the city seated on a donkey there everyone erupted in a chorus of praise as if there were some conductor who gave them their cue.


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)

Even the children added their voice to the mix.  And the religious people were not happy-not happy at all.  But it did not matter.

But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “ ‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”” (Matthew 21:15–16)

God calls forth praise-even from the children.  Will you add your voice to the mix?  How will your voice be heard today?
