    1. Jesus’ arms are open as an act of invitation 2. Jesus gives an open invitation to a life of fruitfulness.

    It must have been quite a scene as Jesus rode into Jerusalem. First, he is not riding a warrior’s horse, he is riding on the colt of a donkey.

    We live in a world full of closed doors, but God did not want the world to be like this.

And if you really stop to think about it, it’s the closed doors in life that really are the most ...read more
