S – The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵ When the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders that he did and the children shouting in the temple, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant ¹⁶ and said to him, “Do you hear what these children are saying?” 

Jesus replied, “Yes, have you never read: 

You have prepared praise 

from the mouths of infants and nursing babies?” 

Matthew 21:14–16 CSB

O – Couple of items noticed in this scripture:
1. Previous, Jesus arrived triumphantly then drove out the money changers.  Lots of action and emotion.

2. The temple would be animated by Jesus’ presence and actions.

3. The blind and lame were allowed into the temple – this wasn’t allowed.  Jesus healed them – all visible healings for all to see.

4.  Children emulated what they saw adults doing – shouting “Hosanna.”

5.  Jesus shares God’s word to the question of their actions and in the Messiah implications.

A – Jesus demonstrates who He is in various forms. He is Lord, just, healer, Lord, and the Word all in a short time.  We need to know that he is able to be all things we need in our own lives.  In knowing Him better, we see the power and blessings that come in a relationship with Him.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you. Thank you for your love for us.  There are so many benefits that we enjoy in our relationship with you.
