Calling Out To Christ

1. Jesus Hears Our Words 

Luke 19:28-38 (NASB)

²⁸ After He had said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹ When He approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mount that is called Olivet, He sent two of the disciples,

³⁰ saying, "Go into the village ahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colt tied on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

³¹ "If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say, 'The Lord has need of it.' 

³² So those who were sent went away and found it just as He had told them.

³³ As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

³⁴ They said, "The Lord has need of it."

³⁵ They brought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and put Jesus on it.

³⁶ As He was going, they were spreading their coats on the road.

³⁷ As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

³⁸ shouting: "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

Matthew 21:8-11 (NASB)

⁸ Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road.

⁹ The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!"

¹⁰ When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"

¹¹ And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."

·        “Hosanna to the Son of David”   

2 Kings 9:13 (NASB)

¹³  Then they hurried and each man took his garment and placed it under him on the bare steps, and blew the trumpet, saying, "Jehu is king!"

·        “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”

Revelation 7:9-10 (NASB)

⁹  After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;

¹⁰  and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb."

·        “Hosanna in the Highest!”

·        “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee”

Luke 19:39-40 (NASB)

³⁹ Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

⁴⁰ But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!"

2.  Jesus Sees The Reality Of Our Hearts  

 Luke 19:41-44 (NASB)

⁴¹ When He approached Jerusalem, He 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."

Luke 18:31-33 (NASB)

³¹ Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

³² "For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon,

³³ and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again."

Matthew 21:10 (NASB)

¹⁰  When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, "Who is this?"
