Final remarks

Some people were expecting a king to come. They believed that Jesus was the king. This caused Jesus to be happy. But some people did not believe that God would punish them. This caused Jesus to be sad. Those people who do not receive Jesus will suffer punishment in the end. If we love Jesus, we should praise him. We should praise him even when other people do not praise him.

Pray

Lord Jesus, help me to praise you even when other people do not like it. You rescue people so that they will not suffer punishment without end. Help me to tell other people about this. Amen.
