Do You Exalt Jesus with Your Life?

Then Jesus said to them, "You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. Wasn't it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?" Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:25-27

Those foolish people. Didn’t they know the predictions of the Messiah? We are not to be fools.

There are many verses in Proverbs concerning fools.

Wise people treasure knowledge, but the babbling of a fool invites disaster. Proverbs 10:14

The lips of the wise give good advice; the heart of a fool has none to give. Proverbs 15:7

Trusting a fool to convey a message is like cutting off one's feet or drinking poison! Proverbs 26:6

O LORD, what great works you do! And how deep are your thoughts. Only a simpleton would not know, and only a fool would not understand this: Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. But you, O LORD, will be exalted forever. Psalm 92:5-8

Jesus made His Triumphal entry into Jerusalem through this gate.
He was exalted on that day...only a week before His crucifixion.

Exalted forever. That is just how Jesus Christ is…exalted now and forever. We need to study scripture more to gain a deeper understanding of the predictions of the Messiah and to give Jesus—our Messiah—the exaltation He deserves.

Imagine those people walking along with Him on the road to Emmaus. How they didn’t recognize Jesus and yet He was telling them all the facts about Himself as revealed in scripture from Moses and the Old Testament prophets. Do you exalt Him with your life?

Prayer ~ Reveal Yourself to us, Jesus, as we read and re-read Scripture. Make Your Word come alive in our hearts and lives that we would live to please You and serve You in all that we do.
