The religious leaders were offended by the crowd proclaiming Jesus as King. They wanted Jesus to rebuke them, and to basically dispute their claims. Not only did Jesus NOT rebuke them, but he validated their claims by saying that if they didn't praise him, then the ROCKS would. That is serious moxie... go Jesus!
What a praise WORTHY God we serve! I might as well lose myself in worship to him. I might as well proclaim his goodness! I might as well be so obvious about it that people take note, and may not like it or, heaven forbid, approve. He is so WORTHY and demanding of praise, that if I don't praise him... if we as his children don't acknowledge him as Lord.... then the literal STONES will rise up and do it.
Lord, let my every breath be about you. As much as I like rocks, minerals, and stones... I do not want them to do my job. You are worthy of praise! You are the blessed King of heaven. Thank you for who you are....good, faithful, love, in-control, competent, aware of the details, the master planner, the healer of hurt hearts, the cleaner of tainted minds, the victor, the defender of those treated unjustly, the restorer of brokenness, the resurrector of dead dreams, the hope that erases disappointments. You are amazing!
