As the day approaches, I can't help but think of the following list given by the Chaplain on Palm Sunday:
The first time He came as a lowly carpenter
The next time He will come as a risen conquerer
The first time He came riding on a donkey
The next time He will be riding a white horse
The first time people ridiculed and beat Him
The next time people will bow in His presence
The first time He came weeping
The next time He is coming with a shout
The first time He came to redeem man
The next time He will rule all of mankind
The first time He had no money for taxes
The next time He will own everything
The first time He came alone
The next time He is coming with saints and angels
The first time He was mocked and scorned
The next time His enemies will be under His feet
The first time He had nails in His hands
The next time He holds a sword
The first time He hung on a cross
The next time He will sit on a Throne
The first time He was judged
The next time He will be the Judge
The first time men put Him to death
The next time He will destroy the enemies of God
The first time He came as a man
The next time He will come as God
The first time He was the Lamb
The next time He will be the Lion
The first time He was meek and lowly
The next time He will come in power and glory
The first time He wore a crown of thorns
The next time He will wear a Crown of Crowns
The first time He was called King of the Jews
The next time He will be King of Kings
The first time He came as a lowly Nazarene
The next time He is coming as the Lord of Lords
Praise God and amen!
