Stones Cry Out

Today I was spending time in the word with God, which was magnificent for so many reasons, but I will just share on part that I thought was particularly awesome.

It comes from Luke 19 : 29-40
Where Jesus tells two followers to get the colt that hasn't been ridden and bring it to him to ride into Jerusalem on. When he arrives his followers throw their coats on the ground in front of where he is riding and they cry out, 38 "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory to the highest!"

Then some pharisees come up to Jesus and tell him to stop his followers from saying these things.

What he says next really touched me and showed me the majesty of Jesus that I really love to see in the world and the word.

40 : But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if my followers didn't say these things, then the stones would cry out."

The stones would cry out in praise to King Jesus if his followers didn't. God, who humbled himself and came down as a man, would be hailed by his creation even if it wasn't by human beings because he is THAT AMAZING. I love seeing his power in all of creation like this, it just shows me a new beauty that I sometimes/often forget God possesses.


God. You are beautiful. Creator of the Heavens, of earth, of the universe, galaxy, all that stuff that is way beyond me; you came down to die for me, for my sinfulness, for all of mankind's sinfulness. Yahweh, no word can truly capture just how awesome You are.

Look what You've done for me,
Your blood has set me free,
Jesus, my Lord, look what You've done for me.
I haven't been the same
ever since that day I called Your name.
Jesus, my Lord, look what You've done for me.

What can I do for you my Lord?
I want you to know my heart is Yours
It's not a question of what You can do for me
But what can I do for you my Lord?

Floyd McClung says that true repentance begins when we see sin from God's eyes. That we can see how sin breaks God's heart. Once we see that we will truly repent of our sins.

In Hosanna we always sing "break my heart for what breaks yours" but I never really thought about viewing sin from God's perspective.

So I'm gonna pray that God will show me how He views my sin, and the sins of His children. See where it takes/leads me. We shall see!
