Luke 19:36–39 (ESV) And as He rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. As He was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of His disciples began to rejoice & praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven & glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”
Ps 118:22-26 “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the Lord has made;let us rejoice and be glad in it. Save us, we pray, O Lord! O Lord, we pray, give us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We bless you from the house of the Lord.”
When Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on a colt, the disciples & the crowd cried out with a loud voice, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven & glory in the highest!” (Luke 19:38). If you were in that crowd two thousand years ago, would you have been shouting with the crowd? I believe all Christians today would say yes. But some that were there took offense: (Luke 19:39) “And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, ‘Teacher, rebuke your disciples.’” They had a problem with the term Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Why? This sermon explores that question and the issue of “And The People Shouted.”
