Read Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24

118 Give thanks to the Lord,

because he is good,

and his love is eternal.

²Let the people of Israel say,

“His love is eternal.”

¹⁴The Lord makes me powerful and strong;

he has saved me.

¹⁵Listen to the glad shouts of victory in the tents of God’s people:

“The Lord’s mighty power has done it!

¹⁶His power has brought us victory—

his mighty power in battle!”

¹⁷I will not die; instead, I will live

and proclaim what the Lord has done.

¹⁸He has punished me severely,

but he has not let me die.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of the Temple;

I will go in and give thanks to the Lord!

²⁰This is the gate of the Lord;

only the righteous can come in.

²¹I praise you, Lord,

because you heard me, because you have given me victory.

²²The stone which the builders rejected as worthless

turned out to be the most important of all.

²³This was done by the Lord;

what a wonderful sight it is!

²⁴This is the day of the Lord’s victory;

let us be happy, let us celebrate!

Think

We read the same Psalm we did - but now in a different context.  On Palm Sunday it was about Jesus marching to Jerusalem.  Today it is about Jesus risen - and presented to God in the heavenly temple for coronation as King.

Pray

This is the day of the LORD'S victory; let us be happy, let us celebrate!
