DISCUSSION GUIDES
Read Luke 19:28-44.
What happens in this passage? What were the people doing? What were the people saying? What did that mean?
Palm Sunday was a day of confusion. Many people who praised Jesus had the wrong idea of what the promised Messiah (anointed one) would actually look like and come to accomplish. What do you think the people were expecting him to be or do? How is that different from his real mission? What are some ways that people today misunderstand Jesus?
Was Jesus' entry into Jerusalem the beginning of things spinning out of control? Why or why not? Did Jesus want to be put to death? Explain your answer.
Why do you think that Jesus wept over the city of Jerusalem? What does that say about how he feels about people?
Do you think it is possible to call yourself a Christian, go to church, say and do the right things, but not really know Jesus? Explain.
What does it mean to “know” Jesus?
How do you know that you know Jesus?
Read Romans 5:1-11 for next Sunday
