The King Is Coming Again

 For the Audio Version click here: The King is Coming Again

“They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel!’” John 12:13 (NIV)

“Do not be afraid, Daughter Zion; see your king is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” John 12:15 (NIV)

The multitudes of people who gathered that day, came for two reasons – one was to see Jesus, but the other was also to catch a glimpse of Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.  The crowds did something spontaneously that day, unaware that they were actually fulfilling the prophecy found in Zechariah 9:9…“Behold your King is coming to you; He is just and having Salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.” (NKJV).

Indeed Jesus was the King - the King who came to save (that’s what Hosanna means) His people from their sins. He was also the Righteous and Just King, who came to free us from all fears. He was indeed the Humble King who rode on a donkey, who came not to be served but to serve, and give His life as a ransom for many. That day many people recognized Jesus for who He really was and put their trust in Him.

Jesus died, was buried and rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven and promised that He will return again. The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus will not be like the first.  Firstly, He will come  again as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords with His holy angels. Jesus said in Matthew 16:27, “For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.” (NKJV). Secondly, He will come all of a sudden and without warning. In Matthew 24:36, “Jesus Himself said, But of the day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” (NKJV). Finally, Jesus will come to judge and reward each one of us for what we have done. Revelation 12:22 says, “Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.” (NLT).

Only a few people acknowledged Jesus as King the first time He came; however, when He comes again there will be no way anyone can not acknowledge Him as King and Lord. As Isaiah Prophesied in Isaiah 45:23, “Every knee will bend to me, and every tongue will declare allegiance to me.” (NLT)

Jewels From John # 8 - No Finger-pointing Please

Devotion # 8 No Finger-pointing Please For the Audio Version click here:  No Finger-pointing Please John 8:7 , “So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”(NKJV) Read John 8: 1-11 for the entire account. Jesus was at the temple, early in the morning, teaching people who had come eagerly to hear His words. The Scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman who was caught in the very act of adultery.   Their only aim was to trap Jesus and to check whether He would keep the Old Testament law as given by Moses (Leviticus 20:10), which actually commanded that both the man and the woman be put to death, but for some reason only the woman was brought to Jesus. They thought they were putting Jesus in a spot, as they awaited His verdict.   Strangely, Jesus spoke nothing, but simply bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.   No one knows for sure what He wrote, but

Jewels From John # 3 - The One Who Perceives But Still Pardons

Devotion # 3 The One Who Perceives But Still Pardons Click here for the Audio Version:  The One Who Perceives But Still Pardons The woman of Samaria said, “Come see a man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” John 4:29 (NKJV) Read John 4: 4-42 for the entire account. The woman of Samaria had no clue whom she would encounter on that eventful afternoon, as she came to draw water from Jacob’s well.   What seemed to be a casual request from Jesus for a drink of water, developed into a very deep dialogue where the Samaritan woman realized who Jesus was, and that He also knew all about her. Initially she must have been shocked when Jesus revealed that He was aware of the 5 husbands she had earlier, and also about the man she was living with, who was not her husband. There must have been something about the way Jesus spoke to her, that caused her not to be embarrassed, scared and withdrawn, but to feel overjoyed at the thought that she h

Devotion # 5 When We Have No One For the Audio Version Click Here:  When We Have No One "The sick man answered, 'Sir, I don't have anyone here to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am trying to get in, somebody else gets there first.'" John 5:7 (NKJV) The pool near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem, called Bethesda was a unique place. An angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred the water and whoever stepped in first was healed of whatever infirmity they had. The Bible records that a very large multitude of sick and disabled people were all awaiting their turn. It was here that Jesus met this man who was bed-ridden with an infirmity for 38 long years. Jesus knew everything about the man and his predicament, and asked him a very important question, “Do you want to get well?” His reply was amazing. Not knowing who it was who was asking this question, he replied, “Sir, I have no man…” John 5:7 (KJV). Ther
