The Road to the Resurrection

Monday…before the resurrection

(Note: The day we observe as “Palm Sunday” actually occurred on a Monday that year, as Jesus approached Jerusalem, riding on a donkey colt…when the following occurred…)

Luke 19:41-44

41 When He approached Jerusalem, [Jesus] saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. 43 “For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, 44 and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

“Oh that we would see and savor the beauty of Christ — the tears of sovereign joy and the self-sacrificing love and obedience that took Him every step of the way during Holy Week. And oh, that, as we admire and

worship Him this week, we would be changed by what we see and become more tenderly-moved, self-denying, need-meeting people.” ~ John Piper
