Permission To Turn Up The Volume

Read Luke 19:28-40

It is more likely that inanimate objects like rocks would cry out to Jesus in worship than for the King of kings to enter his capital city without honor.

Jesus encouraged the joyful praise of the people, He didn't suppress it. But how quickly things would change in less than a week, as many of these same people would yell, "Crucify!"

Human beings created in God's image make much better worshippers than mere rocks.

- Line in the movie Troy by Achilles when fighting Hector.

A few other instances of inanimate objects crying out in praise:

"Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs? Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock." - Psalms‬ ‭114‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

"You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!" - Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT

"Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you twinkling stars! Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds!" - Psalms‬ ‭148‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬
