Jesus Enters the City
ReRead: Luke 19:35-37
Friday 3/27/15 Day 33
Ponder: The disciples did what Jesus asked and brought the colt back with them. Little did they know this animal would be with them as they entered Jerusalem. Jesus sits on the colt and begins his ride. People with palm branches start waving and greeting Jesus as he passes by. They shout praises to God. Passover is a celebration to praise God for delivering His people, Israel, from bondage, and the hope of God’s ultimate salvation through Messiah. People have heard about Jesus and his many interruptions in the region. Now, he interrupts everything with his arrival into Jerusalem. Pause. If you are quiet, you can almost hear them asking each other, “Could Jesus be the Messiah?”
