I will be a witness to the love of God and the Good News of Jesus Christ. Read Luke 19:37-40. Thousands gathered to wave Palm Branches and shouted, “Hosanna, blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.” Yesterday we celebrated Palm Sunday. We sang about Jesus and waved our Palm Branches. Not everyone was happy with Jesus or the crowd. They confronted Jesus and told him to tell the crowd to stop shouting. Jesus responded, “If they did not shout, then the stones would cry out.” But the stones didn’t have to shout that day, nor have they needed to in the last 2000 years. Because we are witnesses to God’s goodness today, we are the ones who continue the tradition of praising God and waving our palms to declare God’s goodness. When we put our faith in Jesus and choose to become members of Wesley Chapel, we make a promise to uphold the church with our witness. Our witness includes our words and our actions. Our witness includes our praise and our prayers. Wherever we go, we are witnesses that Jesus is our Savior.



Lord God on High, we praise you with our shouts and our praise. May our witness prompt others to look to you for life and love. Amen.
