Luke 19:37-44
Jesus knew the conditions surrounding the people, and he knew the condition of the people's heart.
Jesus did everything the people didn't want, and so the cheering stopped.
Why?
1. They did not recognize His purpose. (44)
God's “coming to you”- episkeptoamai- to relieve.
They had their eyes on their immediate circumstances instead of their current condition.
2. They refused to accept His terms. (42)
The people wanted peace through conflict.
Jesus offered peace in the midst of conflict.
3. They did not realize it would bring judgment. (42-44)
70 AD- over one million Jews were killed. The temple was destroyed.
There is a “too late” in dealing with God.
Jesus was faithful to you and me, even when the cheering stopped.
