DAY THIRTY-FIVE

    The kids who would not stop singing

    When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, crowds waved palm branches and shouted, Hosanna! That means, Save us! And even after the parade was over, in the temple, the children kept right on shouting. Hosanna to the Son of David!

    The grumpy leaders were annoyed. Do you hear what these kids are saying? they asked Jesus. Make them stop.

    Jesus would not stop them. He said God planned it this way all along, that perfect praise would come from the mouths of children. Your worship matters. When you sing to God, heaven hears a masterpiece.

    Out of the mouths of children, God has prepared perfect praise.

    Matthew 21:16

    TomorrowJesus grabs a towel and does the most surprising thing a king ever did.
