I fear that I would be moved along with the crowd, but I’d like to say that I wouldn’t waver from my trust in Him.

Lisa, I love this post…going to put it on my fb wall. My prayer is that I will always have a word for the hope that lives within me. Happy Easter.

I’m not so sure what I would have said or not said, Lisa. My husband and I were talking the other day that we, too, cried “Hosanna” with the mob and then days later yelled, “Crucify Him!” But if I were one of Jesus’ disciples there, I think I’d be filled with fear, sadness, and confusion to see my beloved Master hanging there when I thought He was the one who would deliver me. It’s such a blessing that we already know Jesus has risen whereas they didn’t. Jesus had told them, but I don’t think it really sunk in until after Jesus arose. Anyway, you really have me doing some deep reflection here… Thank you. Have a joy-filled Easter, Lisa!

Do you know the hymn that goes:
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away:
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day.

I would hope to be behind Mary and cry, “Thank you, Lord.”

Lisa, I think I would have stood there and said nothing….too overcome. Maybe fallen at his feet and wept.

(And the world needs more quiet “boring” people….so us ‘talkers’ will learn to listen.)

I am thinking I would be silent with sadness and fear……even though I am an extrovert mostly, this would silence me. Great post and question.

Hi Lisa! I know that as a child, I would ask Jesus to just jump down from the cross for just a minute…and show all those doubters that he could. Now I realize that his staying right there is ultimate statement of salvation.

I hope I would be supportive to all the family and friends of Jesus. Just standing with them would help shield them from the hate all around. I guess that doesn’t involve many words. Just holding a hand, rubbing a back…and Jesus would know that I would do that for them, because I loved him.
Easter Blessings to you!

I’ve always been told I was shy. So, I guess that makes me an introvert. It really depends upon who I’m with though… If i’m amongst people I feel comfortable with I can be outgoing but, had I been there in the midst of the drama unfolding that day… I’m not sure I could speak. If I had a notepad and a pen I’d probably be writing like mad because that’s how I best communicate at times…when I can’t find my voice.
totally going to share this post with a few friends and see how they would answer. 🙂
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter Lisa!!

All that comes to my mind as to what I’d say is …THANK YOU!

So true. I am not sure what I would have said that day. This post has also caused me to reflect on what will I say on the day I stand before Him? Will I be able to say anything at all or will I be on my face before Him in worship? Amazing to think about this week. Thank you for sharing this post! Have a blessed Easter!
