Jesus dicit

Word 254 of 310Hope

I tell you, if they remain silent, the very stones will cry out.

Luke 19:40

BSB

Read Luke 19 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Luke 19)

The stones would cry out

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a young donkey. His disciples rejoiced and praised God with a loud voice. Some Pharisees thought it was too much and said: Master, rebuke thy disciples.

His answer: if they are silent, the stones will cry out. Praise of God can't be suppressed. If people don't say it, creation will.

Question for today

What do I want to praise God for out loud today?

Prayer

Lord, don't let me be silent about what you have done. Don't let the stones have to cry out in my place. Amen.
