Entering the City
1. Into Jerusalem — Everyone had something to offer on that day: their colt, their garments, clothes, their chant in Hosanna…. The Lord, though silent, sent a message “I am here to save”. (v10)
2. Unto Bethany — Coming out of the temple, the Lord returned unto Bethany instead of staying in Jerusalem. Was it because pilgrims were too many that the Lord could not find a place to stay? (v11)
Scripture of the Day (NT): Mark 11a (v1-11)

* The Lord was very explicit in His stand about worldly wealth. Wealth in itself belongs to the world and not of the righteous quality as in God. Let’s be a honest steward over what others entrust in our custody, let’s aim at producing eternal worth. (Luke 16). Greg SMITH, a senior executive of international investment bank Goldman Sachs/高盛 resigned voluntarily from his job. In his 2 page article “Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs” on New York Times, he shares his views on how money rots heart of man, how threatening the financial system is in this end times!

* Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; him shalt thou serve; and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear. (Deuteronomy 10:20)
Deuteronomy 10-12: “Cleave” best describes the bond between man and wife, one relying on the other. Likewise, the Israelites, the children of God should also love and bond with God!
