The stones will cry out!

"I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." Luke 19:40

If you listen carefully down by the riverbed you can hear the sound of the stones rubbing up against one another as the water gently passes over them all day long. It's a sound that takes patience and discipline to hear. It's easy to miss, because daily these stones get overlooked. After all, they are just stones right? 

"Now He came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen: Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heaven! Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told Him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples." He answered, "I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out." Luke 19:37-40

What do stones praising God joyfully have to do with anything? Everything. God can out of the stones raise up children unto Abraham, and turn the stony heart to himself, so he can bring praise out of the mouths of children. And what will be the feelings of men when the Lord returns in glory to rule and reign once and for all? 

Jesus, in the Triumphal Entry, revealed a picture of what was to come. Though he was only recognized by a handful of people as the King who comes in the name of the Lord, this image of Him riding on a donkey will forever be remembered. 

Let us who believe in His name and praise not keep silent. Let us proclaim the truth that He is risen indeed and has defeated death once and for all! 

If you had the cure to cancer, would you not share it with the world? There is a malignancy of soul which can only be cured by one Man, Christ Jesus.
