Palm Sunday: King Jesus’ Terms of Peace (Luke 19:28-44)

Luke 19:28-44

Jesus’ ‘Triumphal Entry’ is the pinnacle moment of a major gospel theme: confusion about who He was and why He had come.

Matthew 21:9; Luke 23:20-21; Luke 9:18-20; Matthew 16:17

Among those who consider themselves to be God’s people, there is an invisible division between the heart postures of humble repentance and pietistic religion.

Examples:

The Prodigal Son and His Older Brother (Ref. Lk. 15:11-32)

The Pharisee & Tax Collector (Ref. Lk. 18:9-14)

Zacchaeus & The Rich Young Ruler (Ref. Lk. 18:18-30; 19:1-10)

Question:

Do you live as though Jesus came to affirm your righteousness or to be your righteousness?

Jesus’ terms of peace are, in a word, total surrender.

Luke 14:31-33
