1. Lesson 12 for June 20, 2015www.gmahktanjungpinang.org
Adapted from : www.fustero.es
2. He was born in Bethlehem. He grew up in
Nazareth. He taught, preached, and
healed throughout Galilee, Samaria,
Judea, and Perea. But one city held His
constant focus: Jerusalem.
Jesus “steadfastly set His face to go to”
the city (Luke 9:51, NKJV). His entry into
the city marked the most dramatic and
crucial week in world history. The week
began with Christ’s kingly march into the
city and saw His death on the cross.

3. (Luke 19:28-40)
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout,
O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King
is coming to you; He is just and having
salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a
colt, the foal of a donkey.” (Zechariah 9:9)
Jesus went to Jerusalem in order to fulfill His work
of salvation. Let’s study some aspects of His
triumphal entry to that city:
1. “The Lord has need of him.” (v. 34)
Why did Jesus need a colt?
What does He need to enter my life?
2. “As He went, many spread their clothes on the
road.” (v. 36)
What did that gesture mean?
What must I lay down at the feet of Jesus so
He can enter my heart?
3. “The stones would immediately cry out.” (v. 40)
Why were those who praised him on Sunday
quiet on Friday (during His crucifixion)?
Am I proclaiming Jesus or are others doing it
instead?
4. “Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and
sold in it, saying to them, ‘It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but
you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’’” (Luke 19:45-46)
That didn’t happen on Sabbath, and
they were doing business with
things related to the service in the
temple (doves, money changers…).
So why was doing that within the
spacious inner courtyard of the
temple wrong?
I am the temple of God (1
Corinthians 3:16). What should I
change in order to be a “house of
prayer” and not a “den of thieves?”
Let Jesus clean the temple of your
heart.
5. “And the chief priests and the scribes that very
hour sought to lay hands on Him, but they feared
the people—for they knew He had spoken this
parable against them.” (Luke 20:19)
How can you bear the fruit God expects from
you? How could you keep it for yourself
(v. 9-10)?
Are you paying attention to the warnings of
the old and modern prophets (v. 11-12)?
“Whoever falls on that stone will be broken; but on
whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”
(Luke 20:18)
Have you been broken on the Rock, or will you
be destroyed when it will fall on you (v. 13-
18)?
6. What was the trick on the
question “Is it lawful for us to
pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
(v. 22)?
How can we combine our
loyalty to God and our loyalty
to our Country?
“And He said to them, ‘Render
therefore to Caesar the things
that are Caesar’s, and to God
the things that are God’s.’”
(Luke 20:25)
7. “And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying,
‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’
Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new
covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’” (Luke 22:19-20)
We remember
two vital lessons
when taking part
in the Lord’s
Supper:
1. Jesus saved us by dying at the cross
(Matthew 26:28).
2. We are a united community waiting for his Second
Coming when we sit together at His table
(1 Corinthians 11:26).
8. “In this last act of Christ in partaking with His disciples of
the bread and wine, He pledged Himself to them as their
Redeemer by a new covenant, in which it was written and
sealed that upon all who will receive Christ by faith will be
bestowed all the blessings that heaven can supply, both in
this life and in the future immortal life.
This covenant deed was to be ratified by Christ’s own
blood… This ordinance is not to be exclusive, as many
would make it. Each must participate in it publicly, and
thus say: ‘I accept Christ as my personal Saviour. He gave
His life for me, that I might be rescued from death.’”
