Are We on the Wrong Side of History?

One day, the things we do today will be called 'history'. Various people will write that history. What will they say of us? Will we be well, or badly thought of? Will we be denounced maybe? In other words, will we be on the right side of history or the wrong side? Will we be judged kindly or harshly by those who might one day write up the days we live in and make a judgment about us?

In this passage of the Bible there is only one Person who will be judged to be on the right side of history. It is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is found here unassumingly riding on a donkey. He is destined to be hated and to be put to death in a very short space of time. The people who put Him to death thought they were on the right side of history. They were seriously mistaken. For the Person who is going to write up history is the Lord Himself and He will not err in what He judges and what He writes. But we can see a selection of people who were on the wrong side of history in verses 39, 44 and 46.
