Follow Him!

As he rode a donkey into Jerusalem, a huge crowd of people followed him, rallying, cheering, and marching behind Jesus, celebrating him as teacher, builder, leader, and healer in God’s kingdom of love and justice, on Earth as it is in heaven. Then, as today, people cried and shouted out: “Hosanna in the highest! God, save us!!” ❤️ 💜

Sowing Seeds

Spring has sprung! It has now come in awesome glory here in the nation’s capital. Everywhere so much is being planted, and everything is growing and beginning to blossom! Hopefully the seeds that have been sown will soon bring a bounteous harvest!

Jesus, who sowed so many seeds of power and goodness, said to those who followed him: “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” May we be laborers in God’s kingdom—and find more workers to join with us.

Jesus Started a Movement

When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee… From that time, Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near!”… He was starting a movement for God’s Kingdom, and he went throughout Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness of the people. So his fame spread… They brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, people possessed by demons or having epilepsy or paralyzed, and he cured them all. And great crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan River.
