Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Matthew 21:9
When an advertiser altered a photo of Michelangelos famous marble sculpture of the biblical hero David, Italys government and gallery officials objected. Picturing David with a military rifle slung over his shoulder (instead of his slingshot) would be a violationlike taking a hammer to it or worse, a cultural official said.
In first-century Jerusalem, David was remembered as the shepherd-songwriter and soldier-king of Israels fondest memories and greatest hopes. Prophets foretold that Davids descendant would finally defeat the enemies of Israel. So, centuries later, when crowds welcomed Jesus as the Son of David (Matthew 21:69), they were expecting Him to lead the revolt that would overthrow their Roman occupiers. Instead Jesus knocked over the tables of temple money-changers to restore His Fathers house as a house of prayer for all nations. Israels leaders were furious. This wasnt the kind of Messiah and Son of David they were looking for. So without realizing what they were doing, they called for Roman executioners to take a hammer to the hands and feet of the true glory of Israel.
Instead of stopping them, Jesus let Himself be lifted up on a cross of shamedefaced and disgraced. Only by resurrection would it be known that the true Son of David had defeated His enemies with love and enlisted the children of all nations to spread the word.
Father in heaven, its hard to admit. But its true. We get so confused. We try to protect the images we love more than the love You consider priceless.
Jesus shows that God is always better than our expectations.
Establishing Jesus as the Son of David is critical to Matthews gospel account. He begins his gospel by saying, This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham. This description traces Jesuss lineage through Joseph back to David and beyond. Additionally, in Matthews gospel Jesus is called the Son of David by two blind men (9:27), a Canaanite woman (15:22), and two more blind men (20:3031). Since the theme of Matthews gospel is that Jesus is the King of the Jews and Matthews primary audience was the Jewish people, it was important for Jesus to be identified as the Son of David and heir to Davids throne. Jesuss royal identity makes it all the more tragic that the response of the mob at His cross mocked Him as King of the Jews (27:29, 42) instead of placing their trust in Him.
What is your response to Jesus?

I am disgruntled with Cleveland at the moment (We love Chief Wahoo), and its a bad time of year to be on the lake but try some Italian food , Maybe Paninis Grill, or any hole in the wall Italian joint.
Stay warm, the lake wind can be brutal in Feb

I am headed home with a shopping stop. Back in a bit.
To: mylife
Well in Cleveland it’s just a matter of walking down the concourse to my next flight to take it to Denver. But thanks for letting me know about the Paninis Grill ... or Italian.
