Which Jesus Are You Expecting? Luke 19:28-48 Sermon By Rev. Julio Orozco Jr.

Welcome to Grace Community Church, today’s sermon is: Which Jesus Are You Expecting ( from Luke 19:28-48)

Overview:

On Easter Sunday, churches are usually packed to the gills with people who call themselves Christians. The event is for the commemoration of Christ’s Resurrection, without which mankind would perish. Jesus had to endure the greatest humiliation as he hung on a cross for the sins of You and I. The triumphal entry, also known as the triumphal procession, took place in Jerusalem about two thousand years ago. Those who lived at the period had diverse ideas about what the Christ meant to them. He was a menace to some, the new sheriff in town to others, and just another intriguing leader to others. To summarize, everyone had their own preconceived notions of the Messiah was. As a result, many people missed the ultimate reason of Jesus Christ’s first coming, and many people still don’t know what Jesus Christ’s true mission is in 2022. Join us as Reverend Julio Orozco preaches on this topic from Luke 19:28-48

Every Sunday, our pastor has faithfully brought the word to us, and it is only fitting that we do our part and share it with others.

Which Jesus Are You Expecting?

The Passage: Luke 19:28-48 

The Triumphal Entry

²⁸ 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 their cloaks on the road. ³⁷ As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, ³⁸ saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” ⁴⁰ He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

⁴¹ And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, ⁴² saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³ For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side ⁴⁴ and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

⁴⁵ And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, ⁴⁶ saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”

⁴⁷ And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, ⁴⁸ but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.
