The Long Game Confronts False Worship
He arrives at the city they’ve been waiting for—and weeps. Not because God is absent, but because He is unrecognized. In Luke 19:41–48, Jesus exposes a deeper danger: it is possible to be devoted, certain, and still miss Him. This Maundy Thursday message holds that tension—grief before judgment, exposure before understanding—and invites us to the table, not as those who have it figured out, but as those who receive what He gives.
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.
