Palm Sunday – Don’t Miss Jesus

Jesus Finds a (Luke 19:28-36)

28 After telling this story, Jesus went on toward Jerusalem, walking ahead of his disciples. 29 As he came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead. 30 “Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you untying that colt?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”32 So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said. 33 Sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, “Why are you untying that colt?”34 And the disciples replied, “The Lord needs it.” 35 So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on.36 As he rode along, the crowds spread out their garments on the road ahead of him.

Not Everyone it  (Luke 19:39-40)

Jesus over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41-44)

41 But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. 42 “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. 

Jeremiah 13:17 

43 Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. 44 They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not accept your opportunity for salvation.”
