Jesus Begins His Final Week (1 of 11)
Series: The Greatest Week in History
Scott Maze
Luke 19:28-44
Today, I want invite you to take a three month journey with me on the greatest week in history. This series is devoted to the most important person who's ever lived on His most important week. This is the week of Christ's final entry into Jerusalem as well as His death, burial, and resurrection. Bracketed by Palm Sunday on one end and Easter Sunday on the other, this is the most important week in history.
Before we read our passage, allow me to set the scene for day one, Palm Sunday. It's early Sunday morning some 120 hours before Jesus will be crucified. And while He's predicted His death numerous times, only He feels the countdown to His death at this point. It is the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, either April 2, AD 30 or March 29 AD 33 on our calendars. And Scripture records Jesus doing three items on this day:
1) Jesus triumphantly enters into Jerusalem on what we know as Palm Sunday; 2) He enters Jerusalem to look around the Temple late in the day; 3) And He returns back to Bethany. And so begins the greatest week in history...
Today's Scripture Passage
And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 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. 31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say this: 'The Lord has need of it.''' 32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, ''Why are you untying the colt?'' 34 And they said, ''The Lord has need of it.'' 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 And as he rode along, they spread ...
