09 20 Luke 19.28-44 Crowds flocked to welcome Jesus into Jerusalem believing that He was the Messiah. They praised God with jubilant excitement. The Pharisees were none too pleased. Jesus wept over the city because He knew that their praise was superficial and that they would or had rejected Him as the real king, the one who could deliver them from sin. They were following the right person, but with the wrong motive. If we are to follow the king, obedience is expected. If we are to follow the king, praise is expected. If we are to follow the king, opposition is expected.
