Dr. Pothana's Teaching

2. Luke 19:28-44

3. 28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going
up to Jerusalem. 29 As he approached Bethphage and
Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he
sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to
the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will
find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.
Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why
are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just
as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt,
its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the
colt?”
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”

4. 35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks
on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went
along, people spread their cloaks on the
road.
37 When he came near the place where the
road goes down the Mount of Olives, the
whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to
praise God in loud voices for all the miracles
they had seen:
38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the
name of the Lord!”
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

5. 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus,
“Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40 “I tell you,” he
replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he
wept over it 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only
known on this day what would bring you peace—
but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will
come upon you when your enemies will build an
embankment against you and encircle you and hem
you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the
ground, you and the children within your walls. They
will not leave one stone on another, because you did
not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

1.Humility is required
for his kingdom

13. “Two men went to the Temple to pray.
One was a Pharisee, and the other was
a despised tax collector. The Pharisee
stood by himself and prayed this prayer:
‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other
people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers.
I’m certainly not like that tax collector!
I fast twice a week, and I give you a
tenth of my income.’
“But the tax collector stood at… (cont’d)
--Luke 18:10-14 (NLT)

14. …a distance and dared not even lift his
eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead,
he beat his chest in sorrow, saying,
‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a
sinner.’ I tell you, this sinner, not the
Pharisee, returned home justified before
God. For those who exalt themselves
will be humbled, and those who humble
themselves will be exalted.”
--Luke 18:10-14 (NLT)

26. Jesus entered the temple courts and
drove out all who were buying and
selling there. He overturned the tables
of the money changers and the benches
of those selling doves. “It is written,”
he said to them, “‘My house will be
called a house of prayer,’but you are
making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son
of David,” they were indignant. (cont’d)
--Matthew 21:14-16 (NIV)

35. “Do you hear what these children are
saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never
read, “‘From the lips of children and infants
you, Lord, have called forth your praise’?”
