In the account of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem (some of you might know it as Palm Sunday) we read the following:
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” (Luke 19:38-40)
Jesus is saying that acknowledgment of Jesus and praising Him for who He is, is built into the world. It MUST happen. From somewhere it has to come forth.
According to the apostle Paul, it will come forth from you someday…”that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Phillipians 2:10-11). It’s a gonna happen. Like it or not, willingly or not, it’s a gonna happen. Even stone-cold rocky hearts will cry out.. because the universe longs to have the truth be told. It cannot be silenced.
