The verse is Mathew 21:1-9 I'm starting with the blue egg. And in the egg we find
DONKEY -- The Donkey reminds us of Christ's entry into Jerusalem.From the verse, it is exciting that the donkey's owner freely gave the donkey when he found out it was for Jesus. It is a common tradition for a king to ride on a donkey in times of peace.
Jesus is the King of Kings, God the Father wanted him to bring peace to the earth when he came this time. The bible often refers to Jesus as the Prince of Peace. Jesus peace comes by believing He is the son of God and asking Him to be Lord of our lives.
Many people believed Jesus was the son of God. Many of them were healed of sickness and blindness.
So when Jesus rode down the street they were eager to catch a glimpse of Him.
How excited they were to see the Messiah, the Savior, the chosen one of God.
They want to be near him, talk to him, hear him speak.
They were shouting Hosanna, Hosanna,Hosanna in the highest, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
Things were going well for Jesus, it was easy for people to follow Him.
But when the Jewish leaders challenged Jesus by saying He is not the Son of God, the people were afraid,
Many thought if they admitted they were followers of Jesus and they believed He was God, they would be in danger too.
The truth is that God calls us all to follow Jesus no matter what.
Even though it may be hard at times, we need to be strong in our faith in God.
Just because some people don't love Jesus, we should not be afraid,
Jesus does not change he remains the Son of God and He will bless us and protect us if we love Him and follow Him and His word the Bible.
Thanks for reading over day one with me and tomorrow the verse is in Mathew 26:14-16, 46-50. 27:1-5
Have a wonderful day,
Jolyn

We love our Resurrection eggs! Thanks for taking the time to do this! God's word never returns void! Even if people don't comment, I'm sure God is leading someone to read these...and leading them closer to Him thru you.
