I know someday the crowds will come, just like they eventually crowded around Jesus when he was popular enough and important enough. They will come to see the show, the popular, the flavor of the month- but very few of the hearts will be deeply loyal and the mouths who shout hosanna on Sunday will shout crucify him on Friday. That is the nature of the crowd and I have understood that for a long time.

The enemy is the prince of this world and he hands out popularity chains and prisons, I am so sad as I watch so many enter into them and remain tortured under the stares and opinions and mocking magazine crowd…popular carries a heavy price tag.

It isn’t to be desired or trusted, only endured.

Jesus is the King of Kings- and His Kingdom isn’t of this world. The meek will inherit his kingdom, and the persecuted and the poor in spirit- and those who are hungry and merciful- and only the pure in heart will see it.

This Story is known, loved and despised. It doesn’t matter what we think about- it is TRUE.

It will remain in unlikely hearts and unlikely places and the meek will inherit the earth.

I am looking forward to telling it again tonight.
