Tell Them to Be Quiet
Why does public praise of Jesus feel more dangerous than public opposition? In Luke 19:39–40, the issue isn’t belief—it’s visibility. The Pharisees ask Jesus to quiet the crowd, not because the praise is wrong, but because it’s public. Terry explores with us the tension between control and witness, and asks an honest question: are we being wise… or are we afraid?
Series Information
Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
