Right at the crest, where Mount Olives begins its descent, the whole crowd of disciples burst into enthusiastic praise over all the mighty works they had witnessed:

Blessed is he who comes,
the king in God's name!
All's well in heaven!
Glory in the high places!

Some Pharisees from the crowd told him, "Teacher, get your disciples under control!" But he said, "If they kept quiet, the stones would do it for them, shouting praise."

Jesus had just performed many miracles, and the disciples were praising him, i guess because they didn't know what else to do. They were so excited to see people healed, so they glorified Jesus for this. When a religious teacher told Jesus to rebue his disciples, Jesus said that if they didn't praise him, the Rocks would cry out his Praise.
Now this wasn't just a good line Jesus came up with to outsmart this teacher. He wasn't thinking "I bet If i tell him the rocks will praise me, He won't know what to say! HAHA, I'm so smart!" No, this wasn't that. This was a challenge. Jesus was saying I dare you to stop them, because if you do, the earth will be so full of life the stones will shout my praise.

Jesus offers life, and that's something to shout about. Tonight i have realized that there is a very distorted perception of God. I was reading the book of James, and I am going to share some things i saw.

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.
James 1 : 5-8

God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong,and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.
James 1: 12-18

Everything good comes from God. A lot of times we all blame God for the temptation we face, but the truth and the matter is God isn't the one putting us through the trial, the disaster that we're in. God however, gives us two things. He gives us strength to fight, and blesses us when we endure.
We need to get this false reality that God tempts us, and puts us through trial out of our heads, that is a lie that Satan has put in our heads. Everything that comes from God is good, and he only wants the best for us.
I think the problems we face, and this lie that Satan tells us, that it's from God is taking us away from our creator. But God is so good, that if we didn't praise him, the rocks would.

Now let's look at that for a second. Jesus said that the stones would shout. What does that mean. Oh wait, it must be a figurative sort of metaphor that Jesus uses, because we all know Jesus never makes sense anyways.
Well, what If Jesus was serious? What if the rocks are screaming his name, and we can't hear them? Look at this picture closely, it may take a minute, but let yourself be amazed.



What if the trees are dancing?
