Questions
After some fellowship and prayer, read Luke 19:28-40
Palm Sunday has both historical and theological significance. Read through each account of the “Triumphant Entry” in the 4 gospels and share what is common and different in each (Mathew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, John 12:12-19, and Luke 19:28-20).
There are several Old Testament references as to what is happening here in Luke 19 (Zach 9:9, Psalm 118:25-26, etc.). Why is it important and how does the Old Testament help us interpret the New?
Why was it so significant that Jesus chose and rode in on a donkey instead of a powerful horse? What was the tradition for ancient kings? What does it say about Him and what does it say about His Kingdom?
In the text we see Jesus being very public about His ministry at this time. After not allowing for people to share the news of the miracles He was performing, miracles of healing and even raising people from the dead, why was this the time and place to be open about who He was and what He was about? What might have happened if the word had gotten out sooner (not to say in God’s Sovereignty this would have happened)?
In Revelation 19, John writes of the second coming of Jesus. How is the first coming, Jesus riding on a donkey, as compared to His second coming look like in that text? Why is the picture of Christ different here?
In the Kingship of Jesus, how does the cross define the type of King He is and how does His resurrection and ascension affirm it?
Why is it so important to first understand how Jesus is truly the King of Kings, then to live in a manner that reflects His Kingship? What does that look like for you or how do you see a life of obedience and love in others?
How did even the disciples get it wrong as to the Kingship of Jesus (Mathew 20:20-21, Luke 22:24, Acts 1:6)?
What did Jesus mean in vs 39-40? How does this again affirm His Kingship as our creator God?
How then should we live? This week, invite someone to church for Good Friday or Easter Sunday that is important to you, even if they haven’t yet received Christ. Be praying for one another in this endeavor.
