The crowd that later would yell for Jesus’ execution was driven by Jewish leaders and people the leaders had paid off. On Palm Sunday, the crowd was driven by faithful Jewish followers praying for redemption from the enslavement of Rome and sincere disciples of the rabbi from Galilee. Was the crowd so fickle that they are praising the name of Jesus on Sunday and yelling, “Crucify him!” days later? While some people may have joined into the exuberance of the crowds, the best explanation sees two separate groups of people dictating the direction of the sentiment. The contrasting events of Holy Week perplex many Bible readers.
RAISE A HALLELUJAH FULL
To me, it's so full of hope and excitement.I can't tell you how many times I've had this song come on and just belted my heart out singing the lyrics. It wasn't because I don't love this song let me tell ya, I positively LOVE this song right now. I mentioned before I "half-heartedly" chose this song. While I may not have audibly heard him tell me which song to choose, I know God was speaking to me in church as we sang this song. The very next morning, attending church, guess what song they included in the set list and tied to the sermon? You guessed it – Raise a Hallelujah. This time around, I struggled for quite some time.I half-heartedly settled on "Raise a Hallelujah" on a Saturday.
RAISE A HALLELUJAH HOW TO
Quite frankly, the decision to do "Do It Again" last time came so easily to me that I wasn't quite sure how to choose this second one. Let me begin by praying that God would speak to your heart this week as you study the song "Raise a Hallelujah." Thank you, Lord, that we can grow closer to you through expressing our praise via a song.Īs I was preparing to begin the second devotional, I spent quite some time deciding which song to choose. Welcome to the second weekly devotional! I am so thankful to God that you have chosen to stick it out for another week. Song written by: Jonathan David Helser, Melissa Helser, Molly Skaggs
