“And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, ‘Master, rebuke thy disciples.’ And He answered and said unto them, ‘I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.’” (Luke 19:39-40)
Today many Christians around the world are observing “Palm Sunday.” All four of the Gospels record the events of that day as Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey colt. Matthew, Mark and John do not mention the stones rejoicing and Luke never mentions the palm branches.
The multitude of disciples is crying out, saying, “Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.” The Pharisees think the disciples’ praises are too much and they want Jesus to rebuke them. It is here that Jesus said, “If they should hold their peace, the stones would cry out.”
There will always be those that do not like for you to praise the Lord Jesus Christ. We should have genuine praise toward our Lord regardless of what others do, say or think about it.
