Interdenominational Sunday lesson
Going up to Jerusalem
Luke 19:28-48
Jesus Dramatised His
Messiahship
- Luke 19:29-36
From the time Jesus was twelve
years old and was discovered by His
parents with the doctors in the
temple at Jerusalem, until He died on
the cross, He planned and involved
others in His plan to do His work,
with a purpose. His act of sending
two of His disciples to bring the lowly
ass for him to ride upon, as
prophesized in Zech. 9:9, was to
dramatize that He knew the ass
would be there and that the owners
r
would not object to such blantant
thievery. His dramatic ride into
.Jerusalem, with His disciples
proclaiming Him as the King that
had come in the name of the Lord,
singing his praises, caused the
Pharisees to rebuke Jesus because of
the great show being put on, but
Jesus knew that these dramatic acts
would, and did, impress upon the
people that He was the Son of God
His main purpose on earth. Jesus
persistance was the key to His ac
complishments. We all could take
heed to this teaching. We believe that
Jesus died for our sins, but how many
of us put feet to our thoughts and go
out and tell others, persistantly, or do
for others, consistantly, or pray for
others and our own works daily. We

"For Your Information
Dear friends,
"Sorrow shared is
sorrow diminished"
is on old adage.
Upon this principle,
funeral are made
public events. Not
only does the family
grieve, but fellow
workers and friends
in the community
have suffered a
loss as well. Thru
the funeral service,
they too can express
their grief and pro

support for the be
reaved family.

have ? tendency to lose the urgency
through everyday living. Jesus
refused objections (Luke 19:39-40)
and continued towards His main
object, just as we should today.
Jesus Demonstrated Authority
Luke It: 45-46
Jesus was a compassionate, kind
hearted, loving person, as He showed
in Luke 19:41-44, when He wept for
Jerusalem and it's people because
He knew that the Holy City would be
destroyed but-Jesus was not timid
and afraid. When He came to the
temple (John 2:13-16) and found that
the selling of sacrificial animals had
become crassly commercial, and
even corrupt, He did not care who
knew that He was angry. He drove
these offenders from the temple,
saying, "Make not my Father's
house a house of merchandise." He
did two things here. He showed His
authority over the House of God and
proclaimed authoritively that He was
God's Son. When He returned, three
years later, and found the merchants
and money changers were back
(Mark 11:15) Jesus "overthrew the
table of the moneychangers and the
seats of them that sold the doves, and
would not suffer any man should
carry any vessel through the tem
ple," once again proclaiming His
authority. Solomon and Jeremiah
proclaimed that the temple was to be
kept Holy in the name of the Lord,
and now Jesus was proclaiming the
same in His name.
Jesus Aroused Opposition
Luke 19:47-48
Being steadfast is another great
aspect of Jesus personality. The
priests and Pharisees did all they
could to embarrass and trick Jesus in
their questioning, but they didn't
make allowances for the stead
fastness and truthfulness of His
answers. The people were very at
tentive to Jesus' teaching and, of
course, they were amused when
Jesus' answers always stopped the
priest and Pharisees efforts to
destroy His influence. Because Jesus
was so popular and because they
were jealous of Him and afraid for
their business ventures (in other
words, they were afraid of being hurt
in their pocket books) they decided
He had to go, and it certainly does tell
a lot about these kind of people that
they were afraid and approached
Jesus at night. (Luke 22-53) They
really resorted to violence because
they could not find any other way to
destroy Him, but through it all Jesus
was courageous and steadfast. Many
of the people who were for Him at

that time turned against Him, or just
didn't do anything to help Him, which
was almost as bad. Many of today's
Christians do this, also-it's called
losing courage. Our lesson today
teaches us to have a purpose in life-to
live for Christ-to tell aaout Him-to
involve others. Also, to live our lives
with authority-never showing any
doubt or waywardness in our living,
but steadfastly going forward to our
goal of eternal life through Christ,
taking as many others along with us
as we are able.
