DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  MATTHEWS 21:15-16

(15)  And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying,  Hosanna to the son of David;  they were sore displeased,
(16)  And said unto him,  Hearest thou what these say?  And Jesus saith unto them,  Yea; have ye never read,  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?


WHAT IS MAKING YOU SAD?

(15)  And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying,  Hosanna to the son of David;  they were sore displeased,  Brethren,  at times, enemies will hate believers, not because of their wrong doings, but because of rightful standings in the faith, in the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; and service to our Father, the creator of all things;  in this chapter, Jesus went to the temple of our Father, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew tables of the money changers, and seats of them that sold doves.

Afterwards, the blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them; but, when enemies saw the miracles that he did, and the children crying in the temple, saying,  Hosanna to the son of David;  they became very unhappy;  why were they angry?  (i)  because they saw Jesus performed miracles in the temple and the children singing praises to him;  when we sing praises to our Father, enemies become upset;  therefore, let us praise him everyday!  Oh give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good:  because his mercies endureth for ever. (Psalm 118:1);   (ii)  also, the chief priests and scribes became angry, because the children praised Jesus Christ, associating him to King David; saying, "Hosanna to the son of David;"

Case in point, if Jesus did something rightfully in the eyes of our Father, by healing the blind and lame of their afflictions;  what would be the cause for his enemies to be unhappy?  Brethren, in this life,  sometimes, we associate ourselves with people, who are not really friends, but enemies; and reasons why, they became friends with us, were to know our secrets and expose them to others; when we achieve greater successes; surprisingly, what used to be closer relationships will become sour grapes, hatreds and resentments;  therefore;  brethren,  let us beware of who we associate ourselves with;  be wise as serpents and gentle as doves in this world full of darkness. (Matthew 10:16).

(16)  And said unto him,  Hearest thou what these say?  And Jesus saith unto them,  Yea;  have ye never read,  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? Brethren, in the above context,  the chief priests and scribes saw wonderful things that manifested through Jesus Christ in the temple; but instead of praising our Father with the children, they rather became upset, conspired to bring him into trails, sufferings, crucifixion and death;  they said unto Jesus;  did you hear what the children are saying?  Jesus said unto them;  Yes!  it is written;  "From the mouths of human babies and young unweaned animals, there will be absolute praise?";  in the presence of his enemies, the scriptures was fulfilled;  it was obvious that the elders were not there to glorify our Father through Jesus Christ,  the only reason why they were there, was to find faults to use against him;  for, their despiteful hearts were infiltrated with spirits of hatred, enviousness and jealousies;  therefore, let us be aware that, when we become jealous of others;  inwardly, our thoughts are evil towards them, and there is no telling what evil minds will do;  therefore, let us not think evil against others, but encourage and glorify our Father through achievements of others, if we do so, our Father will also bless us and others will rejoice with us forevermore:  it is written down in the scriptures;  "What shall we then say to these things?  If  God be for us, who can be against us?"  (Romans 8:31).  Nobody!


CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved,  as believers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, if we are in the righteousness of our Father through faith in Jesus Christ, enemies will pester with our souls;  regardless of where we are or what we do on planet earth; there will be enemy attacks upon our lives; however, let us know that, when enemies pester with our souls, Jesus Christ is aware of their evil deeds, and will surely deliver us from all evil;  regardless, let us be glad, rejoice exceedingly before our maker, because of his righteousness, we are counted worthy through the blood of Jesus Christ, we are joint heirs and inherit life everlasting;  today, if we have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, this is the day to receive him into our hearts, tomorrow may be too late;  for, Jesus Christ is coming sooner than we think, he will!  Amen and amen!


QUOTES OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  Matthew 5:11  Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake...Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven:  for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
