“When they drew near Jerusalem and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.” All this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
“Tell the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”
So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:”
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
Hosanna in the highest!”
Matthew 21:1-9–NKJV
Jesus Christ
I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You
He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him:
Proverbs 11:29-31–AKJV
But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.
He that diligently seeketh good procureth favor:
But he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall:
But the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind:
And the fool shall be a servant to the wise of heart.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.
Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed on the earth:
Much more the wicked and the sinner.
You are perfectly loved.
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Therefore, whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 3:16-18–NIV
Jireh is enough
Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
John 14:23-24—NIV
Walking in Jesus’ footsteps is not impossible.
Every Christian I know hopes to walk in Jesus’ footsteps. But walking in the steps of Jesus Christ is a mammoth task though not impossible. When you read and imagine how Jesus conducted himself during His time on earth, it seems anyone could dedicate their life to living like Jesus. Jesus said we would do what he did once he left and even more.
I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same and even greater works I have done because I am going to be with the Father.
John 14:12–NLT
So what do you think is holding us back? Until the Holy Spirit transforms us into a new creation, we are going to continue to fall short because the Bible says:
Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Corinthian 5:17–KJV
So only the new you can fit into Jesus’ footsteps. If Apostle Paul did, you could do it too. Of course, you may never be able to perform miracles. But that is not a requirement to be in the company of Jesus Christ.
