Things are looking up

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”

Hebrews 11:1

When anyone says, “Things are looking up”, it means they're hopeful for a brighter tomorrow because their situation is improving.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, oh so many years ago, He received a hero’s welcome. Crowds were gathered along the streets shouting praises to Him, waving tree branches, and spreading their cloaks on the road as He passed because they were so excited to see this Jesus. Matthew 21:10 says, “When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” Many were puzzled as to who this man riding in on a donkey was but His believers knew who He was; He was the Son of God who came to deliver them.

Today is Palm Sunday which launches us into Holy Week as Christians prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Just as the people experienced the presence of Jesus back then, we too can experience Him today when we invite Him into our hearts. So, for the believer, things are definitely looking up because we’re not in a religion but in a relationship with our Lord and Savior who gives us an undeniable peace.
