‘As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen’ Luke 19:37 (NRSV).
Just imagine it. The disciples laying their cloaks on a small colt’s back and then helping Jesus upon the animal. They begin their journey proceeding along the path winding down from the Mount of Olives. Then the shouting begins. The disciples joyfully cry, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!” (Luke 19:38). Excited pandemonium breaks loose. There is a whole multitude of disciples rising their voices in chorus together.
They had seen so much good, they had received so much good. It was time to lift their voices and abandon themselves in praise to God. And their shouts stirred the crowd to also give honour to God as they spread their cloaks on the road also.
There is a time to thank our heavenly Father with self-abandon. A time to give gratitude for His work with loud shouts. A time to let loose and give uninhibited praise. Let nothing hold us back. There will be critics – Pharisees who object to our behaviour. But their voice is to be silenced, not ours.
‘Father, I praise you today with uncontained enthusiasm. You are great, above all things, and I thank you for all your works in my life and all creation. Amen.’
