Your King Comes!

We are here today to worship the “King of kings and Lord of lords” (cf. 1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 19:16). We anticipate the day when . . . He will “descend from heaven with a shout” (1 Thessalonians 4:16a). There will be no mistaking “the voice of the archangel” or “the trumpet of God” (1 Thessalonians 4:16b). Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10,11). Before any of this could happen, Jesus first had to go to Jerusalem where He would be crucified for our sins. In our text, Luke 19:28-44, we learn that He is almost there - the holy city of Jerusalem, the city of David. Now, here in verse 28, we have the eighth and final reminder: “After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.” (Luke 19:28, NASB95). The events which are about to take place will set the stage for everything else that will happen throughout the week. As we examine the different people which Luke mentions, I encourage you to take note of their reactions to Jesus. Ask yourself, “With which person or persons do I identify?”
