Making A Commitment

Easter is the one day throughout all Christendom when millions will come to worship the Lord. Next to it is Palm Sunday, an often underrated Christian holiday. This is the day when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. Many events happened during the week leading up to Easter. We could talk about the upper room, the Garden of Gethsemane, Peter’s denial, or Pilate turning Jesus over to be flogged. But as I prayed through different passages for this message, I was drawn to Matthew 21. There is no better case study about making a commitment to Jesus than Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. When we come to the Word of God, we are invited to make a commitment. Either we will be committed to Christ, or we will not be committed to Christ. There is no in-between.
