“A Palm-less Sunday”
Pastor Gary Findley
Scripture:
Luke 19:28-40Insights:
1. A Curious Task
2. A Crowded Town
3. A Condemmi9ng Tone
Luk 19:19 And he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
Luk 19:20 Then another came, saying, ‘Lord, here is your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief;
Luk 19:21 for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man. You take what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’
Luk 19:22 He said to him, ‘I will condemn you with your own words, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?
Luk 19:23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, and at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’
Luk 19:24 And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’
Luk 19:25 And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
Luk 19:26 ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
Luk 19:27 But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.'”
The Triumphal Entry
Luk 19:28 And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Luk 19:29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
Luk 19:30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here.
Luk 19:31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.'”
Luk 19:32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them.
Luk 19:33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
Luk 19:34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”
Luk 19:35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.
Luk 19:36 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.
Luk 19:37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,
Luk 19:38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Luk 19:39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
Luk 19:40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
