Kingly Strength

In Matthew 21:15, when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant!

Has anything really changed? When we offer praise, glory, and honor for our King Jesus Christ, the world expresses its displeasure. Jesus is the most offensive person the world has ever known.
