The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

John 12:12-13, “On the next day the great multitude who had come to the feast,

when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of

the palm trees, and went out to meet Him, and began to cry out, ‘Hosanna!

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.’”

I selected these two verses primarily because of the word “Hosanna.”

It means “LORD, save us.” This is the word the nations of today’s world

need to be crying out to Jesus! Virtually every nation on Earth today is

in some kind of trouble. If the world map were a dart board, it would

be impossible to throw a dart at the board without hitting a nation that

is in difficulty. The Jews who cried “Hosanna!” knew their difficulty.

Their nation’s rulers were corrupt, their spiritual leaders were corrupt,

and they had no one to whom they could turn except Jesus. It was

interesting to see how many suffering the devastations of “Harvey”

and “Irma” spoke of the LORD. They could well have appropriated

Simon Peter’s words, “LORD, to whom shall we go? You have the words

of eternal life” (Jn. 6:68). Our world’s hope lies only in Jesus Christ!

Our government is not the solution. Our academic institutions are not

the solution. Our finances are not the solution. Our religions are not

the solution. Only Jesus Christ is the solution! What He says in His

Word–in Holy Scripture—concerning End Times, is swiftly coming to

pass in our own day.

“Only one life; it will soon be past;

Only what’s done for Christ will last.”

Please pray for Michael Rudd, a young man who knows he needs the LORD!

We love and pray for you,
