ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 24TH MARCH 2024.
Today is Palm Sunday, celebrated in remembrance of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. One of the major ways kings and wealthy men of this world demonstrate influence is by riding exotic cars, living in great mansions, and boasting of the monies in their bank accounts.
These are the ways of the earthly rich! However, Jesus the King of kings, demonstrated his own personality by humility. He rode on a donkey colt and not in a chariot drawn by a horse, which could have revealed His majesty. He shunned the ‘show’ and chose a humble way.
The colt He rode on was even borrowed! Jesus refused to go in the ways of the world, but emptied all the glory He shared with the Father for him to fulfil the purpose of God on earth to save mankind from sin (2Cor. 8: 9).
No wonder He was glorified and offered a name above every other names(Phil. 2: 5-9). We, his followers and ambassadors on earth, should follow his path of humility. Our humility in the church, place of work and the neighbourhood does not remove His glory from our lives but rather adds more (Psa. 138: 6). Humble yourself and God will lift you.
PRAYER: Lord, please give me the spirit of humility that I may live a life that pleases you.
