Blessings of The Son Of David

Most of the crowd spread their garments 

on the road ahead of him,

and others cut branches from the trees 

and spread them on on the road.

Jesus was in the center of the procession,

and the people all around him were shouting,

“Praise God for the Son of David!

Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD!

Praise God in highest heaven!”

The entire city of Jerusalem was in an uproar as he entered.

“Who is this?” they asked.

And the crowds replied, 

“It’s Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Matthew 21:8-11

Blessings of Completing The Work God Has Given You

…Jesus looked up to heaven and said,

“Father, the hour has come.

Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you.

For you have given him authority over everyone.

He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.

And this is the way to have eternal life—

to know you, the only true God,

and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.

I brought glory to you here on earth

by completing the work you gave me to do.

John 17:1-4

Blessings of Seeing Prophecy Fulfilled

The Spirit of the sovereign LORD is upon me,

for the LORD has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to comfort the broken hearted 

and to proclaim that captives will be released

and prisoners will be freed.

—–

The Spirit of the LORD is upon me,

for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released,

that the blind will see,

that the oppressed will be set free,

and that the time of the LORD’s favor has come. 

Isaiah 61:1Luke 4:18-19
