Luke 19:30-40
This is a little different approach today. These questions come from poweredby4.org
Wednesday: Luke 19:28-40
Where is Jesus going (19:28-29)? Jerusalem
What instructions does He give two disciples (19:30-31)? They are to find a colt of a donkey and bring it to Jesus
What happened when they obeyed (19:32-35)? They were asked why they were taking this donkey, but they told the owners what Jesus told them to; that the Lord has need of it. They were allowed to take it.
What were Jesus' followers shouting as they drew near to Jerusalem (19:37-38)? "Blessed is the Kind who comes in the name of the Lord"! And "peace in heaven and glory to the Highest"!
How did the Pharisees react (19:39)? They asked Jesus to rebuke His disciples for "blaspheming."
What did Jesus mean in 19:40? Jesus said if these stand by quiet, the rocks would cry out. This entry on this donkey was fulfillment of prophecy. The Savior has come! How could such an event not be greeted with shouts of praise? All of creation knows what is going on here, and if God's people couldn't acknowledge it, the stones would.
What are the "mighty works" that you can praise Jesus for today? There is everything from the simplest to the most major miracles going on in our lives everyday. I got up this morning, that's praiseworthy right there! My family is healthy, I have a good job, I have a great church, I have a home and I had lots of hot water for a shower this morning. I have the opportunity to serve Jesus today! Where should my praise end?
