Luke 19.28-48
Jesus Enters Jerusalem
"When Jesus had finished saying all this, he went on toward Jerusalem.
As he was getting near Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives,
he sent two of his disciples on ahead. He told them, "Go into the
next village, where you will find a young donkey that has never been
ridden. Untie the donkey and bring it here. If anyone asks why you
are doing that, just say, 'The Lord needs it.'"
They went off and found everything just as Jesus had said. While they
were untying the donkey, its owners asked, "Why are you doing that?"
They answered, "The Lord needs it."
Then they led the donkey to Jesus. They put some of their clothes on
its back and helped Jesus get on. And as he rode along, the people
spread clothes on the road in front of him. When Jesus was starting
down the Mount of Olives, his large crowd of disciples were happy and
praised God because of all the miracles they had seen. They shouted,
"Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in
heaven and glory to God."
Some Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, make your
disciples stop shouting!"
But Jesus answered, "If they keep quiet, these stones will start shouting."
When Jesus came closer and could see Jerusalem, he cried and said:
It is too bad that today your people don't know what will bring them
peace! Now it is hidden from them. Jerusalem, the time will come when
your enemies will build walls around you to attack you. Armies will
surround you and close in on you from every side. They will level you
to the ground and kill your people. Not one stone in your buildings
will be left on top of another. This will happen because you did not
see that God had come to save you.
Jesus in the Temple
When Jesus entered the temple, he started chasing out the people who
were selling things. He told them, "The Scriptures say, 'My house
should be a place of worship.' But you have made it a place where
robbers hide!"
Each day, Jesus kept on teaching in the temple. So the chief priests,
the teachers of the Law of Moses, and some other important people
tried to have him killed. But they could not find a way to do it,
because everyone else was eager to listen to him."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
